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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

No. 7 Gonzaga is back in the Kennel on Thursday night to face the Redhawks of Seattle U for the first time since 1980.

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 […]

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 […]

Coach Mark Few hasn’t been afraid to switch things up because of just how deep the No. 7 Gonzaga Bulldogs (13-1, 1-0 WCC) are. He’s now thrown out six different starting lineups this season as redshirt junior guard Braeden Smith returned to the No. 1 lead guard on the depth chart with his strong play […]
