Gonzaga beats No. 16 Saint Mary's 73-59


For the first 30 minutes of Thursday night's game, Gonzaga and No. 16 Saint Mary's fought basket-for-basket in a showdown of the West Coast Conference leaders.
Then Gonzaga made three 3-pointers in a 2-minute span and cruised to a 73-59 victory.
"Our guys battled for 30 minutes," Saint Mary's coach Randy Bennett said. "We have to play 40 up here.'
"We played probably a C-plus, B-minus game," Bennett said. "That's not going to get it here."
The Gaels shot just 38 percent and were outrebounded 40-26.
Gonzaga's Kevin Pangos scored 27 points.
"I thought he was exceptional," Bennett said of the freshman guard. "He hit every shot."
Gonzaga was blown out last month in its first game against Saint Mary's, and center Rob Sacre said the Bulldogs did not want that to happen again.
"We played our game, our tempo," said Sacre, who added 12 points and nine rebounds.
"We were hungry to get back at them," Sacre said of the 83-62 loss to the Gaels on Jan. 12.
The win kept alive the hopes of Gonzaga (19-4, 9-2) to win its 12th consecutive regular season title, the second-longest streak in Division 1 history after UCLA's 13 straight.
But the Zags will need somebody to beat Saint Mary's (22-3, 11-1), which saw its 12-game winning streak snapped. Their last loss was Dec. 22 to No. 6 Baylor.
"I told them before the game, 'Everybody in the building needs to know who the toughest guys were,'" Gonzaga coach Mark Few said. "Our bigs played tough. Our guards played tough."
Gary Bell Jr. scored 12 points and Elias Harris had 10 points and 10 rebounds for Gonzaga, which shot 52 percent.
Few was impressed with the play of Pangos and Bell, freshmen guards who both played more than 30 minutes.
"They have big wills, big hearts," Few said.
The game was a back-and-forth battle until the final 13 minutes, when Gonzaga outscored the Gaels 28-14.
"I think it's always defense," Pangos said of the late rally. "You start runs by getting stops."
Bennett said the rebound difference was a key.
"They were just more aggressive there," Bennett said. "Eventually that paid off big dividends for them."
Matthew Dellavedova had 20 points for Saint Mary's, which was just 5 of 21 from 3-point range.
"For the first 25 minutes, our defense was like good to OK," Dellavedova said. "But we broke down and they were getting lots of penetration and hitting a lot of open 3s."
Gonzaga was 7 of 15 on 3s.
Trailing by three points at halftime, Saint Mary's opened the second half with a 9-4 run to take a 40-38 lead. But consecutive 3-pointers by Pangos and Bell put Gonzaga ahead 44-40.
The teams traded baskets until Pangos hit a 3-pointer with 8 minutes left to extend Gonzaga's lead to 56-49. Bell added another 3 a minute later and Gonzaga led 59-49.
After two free throws by Dellavedova, Pangos hit his fifth 3-pointer in as many attempts for a 62-51 lead with 6 minutes left.
Gonzaga has won or shared the WCC regular season title every year since 2000-01.
Gonzaga is 101-7 in the McCarthey Athletic Center since it opened in 2004

Your Children And Home Schooling_34797

Home Schooling has been garnering more and more interest and support from many parents who are looking for educational alternatives that they can give to their kids. Home schooling is an educational method that makes use of the home as the primary educational base for children. The system involves children being taught or educated at home rather than at an institution such as public or private schools.

In the past, most children are taught their ABC's at home in the absence of adequate schools in some areas. But with the advent of compulsory school attendance in the 19th century, education worldwide is earned through the traditional school approach. In today's terms, home schooling or home education refer to the instruction done in the home with the supervision of government-regulated correspondence schools.

Is home schooling effective? Most people tend to believe so. Many experts think that home schooling can be an effective learning tool because it practices a more personalized form of education. In home schooling, it is usually the parent's responsibility to teach the kids their lesson. And this type of learning environment has helped many children absorb more of what they are being taught.

And the great results have substantiated proof. Some home school statistics show that a number of home school students scored as many as thirty percentile points higher than national public school averages. Some experts don't even see statistical differences in terms of academic achievement between home school students taught by parents with less formal education and those students being taught by parents that have acquired higher formal education.

There are other positive home schooling statistics available that will help prove that such a method of educating children is just as effective. In 2003, the NHERI or National Home Education Research Institute conducted an extensive survey of over 7,300 home-schooled adults in the US with over 5000 of them being part of the survey for over seven years. The findings of the said survey indicated that more home-schooled adults are more active and involved in their respective communities.

Most of them are also more likely to get involved in civic affairs and have higher voting population percentages than their counterparts. In terms of outlook, almost three fourths of home schooled adults feel more positive and find life exciting as compared to less than half for the general population. Half of the home schooled adults report that they are very happy with their lives.

These statistics have shown that home schooling can have a great effect on how a child will learn. Home education can be just as effective and efficient as having your children taught in traditional institutions. Home schooling just carries a big advantage over these educational institutions in the sense that this method can make parents and their kids find time together. If you are looking forward to getting closer with your own kids and more active when it comes to their schooling, then home education for your kids should be considered.

Why Satan Doesn't Want You To Study The Bible_44123


I抦 convinced one of Satan抯 most successful schemes against God抯 people is in blinding us to the importance and relevance of spending time studying the Scriptures. God抯 Word is invaluable. It is a far greater treasure than anything this world has to offer yet many treat it as though it has no worth. Instead of investing time studying the Bible, it is left unopened and gathering dust. Whether it is because of busyness, complacency, or just a lack of awareness, believers miss out on the benefit of growing in their relationship with the Lord when they do not cherish and abide in, His Word.

Satan抯 primary objective is to prevent Christians from appropriating all that is rightfully ours as God抯 children. He wants us to live spiritually bankrupt and destitute lives and one of the ways in which he goes about accomplishing that is by keeping us from studying God抯 Word. It is simple really: If we don抰 know who we are or who our God is, then we will miss out on what He wants to do in and through our lives. God has given us a surpassing treasure according to the riches of His glory梬e have every spiritual blessing in Christ. But unless we are grounded in biblical truth, we are destined to be ineffective for the gospel in this world. However, when we make time to study the Bible our lives are enriched and established upon the sure foundation of His Word.

What treasure does the Word of God have to offer you? Let me give you a description of the riches that God has for those who study the Bible. I've heard Psalm 19:7-10 paraphrased like this, "The revelation of God is whole and pulls our lives together. The signposts of God are clear and point out the right road. The life-maps of God are right, showing the way to joy. The directions of God are plain and easy on the eyes. God's reputation is twenty-four-carat gold, with a lifetime guarantee. The decisions of God are accurate down to the nth degree. God's Word is better than a diamond, better than a diamond set between emeralds. You'll like it better than strawberries in spring, better than red, ripe strawberries." We have to develop the same heart of the psalmist who says in Psalm 119:162, 揑 rejoice at Your Word as one who finds great treasure.?br />
Let me share with you eight benefits of studying the Bible:
1. It assures you of your salvation (1 John 5:13)
2. It guides you with your decisions (Psalm 119:105)
3. It gives you confidence in prayer (John 15:7)
4. It cleanses you from sin (John 15:3 / John 17:17)
5. It brings joy (John 15:11)
6. It gives you peace (John 16:33)
7. It makes you strong (1 John 2:14)
8. It leads to success (Joshua 1:8)

The Bible answers life抯 biggest questions.
In addition to getting to know the God who created us, studying the Bible also helps us to learn about ourselves, and the world in which we live. Answers to all of life抯 biggest questions are found in God抯 Word. Such as:
?Who am I?
?Why am I here?
?Where did I come from?
?Where am I going?
?What should I do with my life?
?What is my relationship to God?

The Bible answers all of these questions and so much more: it is our Creator抯 revelation to us. When we understand this, we will begin to rightly esteem its value and importance in our daily lives. We will also view the time we spend in God抯 Word as the most vital part of our days and guard that time from being disturbed by the constant stream of distractions that make up our modern lives. Ringing cell phones and never-ending emails are always clamoring for our immediate attention, but as we discipline ourselves to set time aside to study God抯 Word we will realize that intrusions such as these will be better handled after we have spent time with the Lord. What are you waiting for? Open your Bibles and find your reward! Are you unsure of how to study the Bible? You can learn forty easy to do Bible study methods by visiting
