Northwest briefs: Gonzaga to face Davidson in Battle in Seattle

Gonzaga will play Davidson on Dec. 12 in the seventh college basketball Battle In Seattle at KeyArena.

The last time the teams faced each other was in the NCAA tournament in 2008, a game won by Davidson, 82-76. Davidson star Stephen Curry scored 40 points in that game. He won't be around for the rematch, selected Thursday by Golden State with the seventh pick in the NBA draft.

Steven Gray, who scored 21 points in the 2008 loss to Davidson, will lead the Bulldogs. Gary scored 23 points last season in the Battle in Seattle, a loss to Connecticut.

Gonzaga won the Seattle game the first three years, but has lost the past three.
