'I miss it here. It’s a family and people use that word for a reason. You jump in and people care about you as a person and a player,' Pangos said of Gonzaga
guard Kevin Pangos couldn’t sleep ahead of a highly-anticipated matchup against the Washington State Cougars at the McCarthey Athletic Center.
Pangos couldn’t have followed his coach’s orders any closer. After missing his first outside shot, he lit up the Cougars for 33 points on nine made 3-pointers, tying Dan Dickau's program record. He went 6-for-6 at the free-throw line and dished out six assists in a thrilling 89-81 victory in front of a sold-out Kennel crowd.
Pangos helped set the foundation for a decade-long run of unparalleled success out of the Bulldogs, though he certainly couldn’t have seen it coming all those years ago. “I just always wanted to compete at the highest level,” Pangos said. “I knew going into that season, I’m going to give a shot. I wanna look back at not regret not giving it a go, so I turned down all my offers overseas.”
