SPOKANE — Elias Harris and Kevin Pangos each scored 19 points as Gonzaga beat Butler 71-55 Tuesday night in a showdown of two of the most successful mid-major programs in the nation.

Harris added nine rebounds for Gonzaga (8-2), which was coming off a 71-60 victory over Arizona on Saturday at KeyArena in Seattle.

Erik Fromm scored 16 points for Butler (5-7), which lost the NCAA championship game in each of the last two seasons. Butler has lost four of its last five games.

"I thought our shot selection midway through each half really killed us tonight," Butler coach Brad Stevens said. "It's been a relatively tough shooting month."

Gonzaga led 22-18 before going on a 14-4 run. Pangos scored 10 of his 12 first-half points during the flurry.

"They're such a hard team to play," Zags coach Mark Few said of Butler. "They are so smart, but we didn't get frustrated."

Gonzaga shot 49 percent from the field, compared with 37 percent for Butler. The Zags were 14 of 21 from the free-throw line and the visitors from Indianapolis were 1 for 4.

Gonzaga has won three in a row.

"We've handled ourselves really, really well," Few said.
