Bouldin scored 19 points and junior guard Jeremy Pargo added 23 as Gonzaga edged Connecticut, 85-82, on Saturday in the Hartford Hall of Fame Showcase at the TD Banknorth Garden in Boston, Massachusetts.
Senior guard Derrick Low scored just nine points Friday, but hit back-to-back 3-pointers down the stretch to help keep Washington State undefeated with a 67-64 triumph over Baylor.
Low has averaged a team-high 14.6 points and 1.4 steals this season, while junior center Aron Baynes has pulled down five rebounds per game.
