Lauren Whittaker Wins Seventh West Coast Conference Freshman of the Week Award
The new face of the Gonzaga Bulldogs program continues her dominant stretch. For the fourth straight week, forward Lauren Whittaker has been named the top freshman in the West Coast Conference. After leading the Zags in their lone win over the Portland Pilots last week, the redshirt freshman finished with 22 points on 8-for-14 field […]
Graham Ike Wins Third West Coast Conference Player of the Week Honor
Graham Ike has won his third West Coast Conference Player of the Week award this season. The graduate forward of the Gonzaga Bulldogs was just two points shy of breaking his career-high after finishing with 34 points on a career-best 13 made field goals in the win over the Santa Clara Broncos in Spokane. He […]
Gonzaga Drops Again in Newest AP Poll
For the second week in a row, the Gonzaga Bulldogs (17-1, 5-0 WCC) have dropped a spot in the AP Poll. The Zags stand at No. 9 and have 1,050 total points from the voters. The Saint Mary’s Gaels (16-2, 5-0 WCC) received 17 total points, who are set to meet for the first time […]
Graham Ike’s Scoring Contributions Lead to Retaliation Over Santa Clara, 89-77
The pair of undefeateds in West Coast Conference play lived up to the hype, on late national television in Spokane, no less. No students were present inside the McCarthey Athletic Center once again, and the tension felt through the tube in the first half was obvious. The Santa Clara Broncos (13-5, 4-1 WCC) shot lights […]

Game Preview: Gonzaga Meets Santa Clara in a Battle of the WCC’s Unbeatens
Gonzaga’s loss last season to the Santa Clara Broncos still stings. The Broncos torched the Bulldogs by hitting 18 of 38 from three and pouring in 103 points, the most ever scored by an opponent in the McCarthy Athletic Center. It was an ugly night that left no doubt that Gonzaga’s defense required immediate recalibration. […]
Corey Kispert Traded to Atlanta Hawks
Corey Kispert is at long last out of Washington, D.C., and moving to Atlanta in a blockbuster NBA trade.

This trade was on the immediate horizon […]
Graham Ike Named to Wooden Award Midseason Watch List
Gonzaga’s graduate forward Graham Ike (16.8 points on 52.2 shooting from the field, team-leading 8.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists per game) was listed on the Top 25 Wooden Award Midseason Watch List. Completely well-deserved, but his partner in crime in the frontcourt wasn’t. Redshirt junior forward Braden Huff leads the Zags in scoring at 18.1 points […]

Gonzaga’s Bench Pushes Team to Fourth Win in Seven Day-Span
Coach Mark Few was not happy with the effort from his No. 7 Gonzaga Bulldogs (16-1, 4-0 WCC) in the last two meetings and sent a message. He went with his eighth different starting lineup of the 2025-26 season and gave freshman wing Davis Fogle (two points on 1-for-3 shooting in ten minutes) his first […]

Game Preview: Gonzaga Looks to Build Momentum at Home Against Loyola Marymount
Gonzaga enters Sunday’s matchup with Loyola Marymount still shaking off the stink of a win that demanded far more patience and late-game heroics than it should have. The Zags trailed Seattle U by as many as 12 points on Friday, drifted through much of the first half, and ultimately needed overtime to escape a game […]

Lisa Fortier Achieves 300th Career Victory With Zags
On the Gonzaga Bulldogs’ (11-5, 3-0 WCC) way to handling the last-place Seattle U Redhawks (4-10, 0-3 WCC) on the road, 85-59, coach Lisa Fortier reached a personal milestone. She recorded her 300th career victory in 379 opportunities with the Zags, the fastest coach to do so in program history. Redshirt freshman forward Lauren Whittaker […]
Gonzaga Survives Fright From Seattle U in Overtime at Kennel, 80-72
After a second-half defensive collapse against the San Diego Toreros in the Jenny Craig Pavilion to end 2025, the No. 7 Gonzaga Bulldogs (15-1, 3-0 WCC) started 2026 lacking spirit and connectiveness with one another against a terrific Seattle U Redhawks team (12-4, 1-2 WCC) led by the bright fifth-year coach Chris Victor. The seventh […]
Game Preview: Gonzaga Hosts Seattle U in First West Coast Conference Era Matchup
No. 7 Gonzaga is back in the Kennel on Thursday night to face the Redhawks of Seattle U for the first time since 1980. The Zags barely escaped San Diego on Tuesday, and the win at the Jenny Craig Pavilion came with long stretches of sloppy execution, loose defensive possessions, and decisions that turned manageable […]

Why Gonzaga Has Exceeded Expectations This Season Thus Far
Remember when this Pacific Northwest program was ranked just No. 21 in the Associated Press poll in the preseason? Despite being embarrassed by 40 points by the Michigan Wolverines in the Players Era Festival championship game in Las Vegas, Nevada, the now No. 7 Gonzaga Bulldogs still have a national championship ceiling. Here are a […]
Gonzaga Beats San Diego 99-93, Eventually
There are a few ways to remember a win like this, and most of them involve selective amnesia. Luckily, the No. 7 Gonzaga Bulldogs beat the San Diego Toreros 99-93 on Tuesday night, moved to 14-1 on the season and 2-0 in conference play, and in the process created a game film so unpleasant that […]
