Redshirt junior third baseman Mikey Bell is leaving the Gonzaga Bulldogs program after two seasons and will enter the NCAA transfer portal, per D1Baseball’s Kendall Rogers. The back-to-back West Coast Conference Player of the Year right away becomes one of the most coveted bats available across college baseball when the portal officially opens on June 1. […]
Denver Pioneers junior guard Jocelyn Medina joins Rider Broncs sophomore guard Emmy Roach as the two transfer additions for the Gonzaga Bulldogs. Medina averaged 6.4 points on a shooting split of 41.0 field goal percentage/20.3 three-point percentage/92.1 free throw percentage, 2.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.1 steals in 19.0 minutes played across 28 contests in […]
Gonzaga once again enters 2026-27 as a legitimate national title contender on paper, with a frontcourt that may be the most physically imposing that coach Mark Few has assembled in years. Massamba Diop, a 7’1 projected 2027 lottery pick, slots in alongside a returning senior Braden Huff, with Izan Almansa possibly providing professional-level depth behind […]
Oklahoma City Thunder center Chet Holmgren was among the 15 names listed on an All-NBA Team. He just barely made the cusp, receiving exactly the 15th-most votes at 87. The lanky challenger at the rim is also coming off an NBA All-Star and All-Defensive First Team appearance for the first time in his career. He’s […]
The 64-team NCAA Tournament bracket is out, and Gonzaga Bulldogs baseball (35-19, 22-5 WCC) didn’t receive an at-large bid or even finish on the First Four Out line. The Zags ended up No. 57 in the Rating Percentage Index or RPI. Also put into factor was their No. 66-ranked Diamond Sports Ranking and No. 152-ranked […]
A substandard and detrimental two-game stretch for the No. 1-seeded Gonzaga Bulldogs at Scottsdale Stadium in Scottsdale, Arizona. Coach Mark Machtolf’s group was the clear favorite to win the West Coast Conference Tournament and didn’t look anything like the part. In the first matchup, Gonzaga got rolled over by the No. 5-seeded Saint Mary’s Gaels […]
Oklahoma City Thunder center Chet Holmgren was considered a top-two defender in the NBA. He only trailed San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama, the 2025-26 Defensive Player of the Year, for the most total votes by 10, 200-190. The pair of ‘cream of the crop’ shot blockers are going head-to-head in the Western Conference Finals […]
The 2026-27 season carries more uncertainty than any Gonzaga campaign in recent memory. New conference, new roster, new identity. Eleven players gone. The three players that coach Mark Few is counting on to hold it together are a senior coming off a knee injury, a sophomore wing who spent the first half of last season […]
The Gonzaga Bulldogs will take on first-year coach Casey Alexander (previously with the Belmont Bruins) and the Kansas State Wildcats in the opening round of the Players Era 16 in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Nov. 24. The Zags are 1-2 against the Wildcats in their all-time history. Last season, Kansas State finished with a 12-20 […]
The Gonzaga Bulldogs are included as a possible participant for the Diamond Cup, a new eight-team pool-play event debuting in the 2027-28 campaign. The ‘blue-blood’ programs that are mentioned are the Arizona Wildcats, UConn Huskies, Kansas Jayhawks, Kentucky Wildcats, Indiana Hoosiers, Michigan Wolverines, and North Carolina Tar Heels. According to a report from CBS Sports’ […]
After winning their West Coast Conference regular-season title since 2022, the Gonzaga Bulldogs (35-17, 22-5 WCC) won four of the five conference awards. Player of the Year: Redshirt junior third baseman Mikey Bell (back-to-back) Coach of the Year: Mark Machtolf (sixth in his 23-year career) Pitcher of the Year: Sophomore left-handed pitcher Karsten Sweum Freshman […]
Five-star wing DeMarcus Henry, out of the 2027 recruiting class, has received an offer from the Gonzaga Bulldogs after assistant coach Stephen Gentry saw him compete at Nike EYBL in Memphis, Tennessee, over the weekend of May 15. Henry competes with Team Why Not, which is based out of Los Angeles, California. Along with the […]
In August of 2024, I published the first article I ever wrote for this site. It was a preview of Davis Fogle, Gonzaga’s most exciting incoming recruit, and I spent most of it arguing that fans should cool their expectations. Coach Mark Few rarely plays freshmen, I wrote. Fogle would probably come off the bench. […]
13 former Gonzaga Bulldogs suited up in the NBA this season, setting a new program record. As the 2026 playoffs get underway, seven of them punched postseason tickets, with one more agonizingly close to joining them. From a reigning champion hunting a repeat to a journeyman veteran soaking up garbage minutes on the hottest team […]
The Gonzaga Bulldogs have landed a commitment from Rider Broncs sophomore guard Emmy Roach, according to her Instagram. The Littlehampton, South Australia native averaged 6.6 points on 40.6 shooting from the field, 34.3 shooting from beyond the arc, and 70.8 shooting from the charity stripe. The six-footer also chipped in 4.8 rebounds, 1.2 steals, 1.0 […]
In a surprising decision, Alba Berlin combo guard Jack Kayil and his agents, Kevin Bradbury and Milan Nikolic, told DraftExpress’s Jonathan Givony that he’s staying in the 2026 NBA Draft. Technically, international players have until June 13 to withdraw, so his announcement coming much earlier than that makes one think that this is very much […]
I was lucky enough to get to visit Memphis last year, and while out playing tourist, somewhere between Graceland and Sun Records, I found myself in the back of an Uber driving past FedExForum. It was one of the rare moments in my life when I wasn’t thinking about Gonzaga basketball at all. Mostly, I […]
Heartbreaking report from ESPN’s Shams Charania as Gonzaga Bulldogs alum and Memphis Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke tragically passed away in Los Angeles, California, on Monday, May 11. Per TMZ Sports, his death is being investigated as a possible drug overdose. The Los Angeles County Fire Department in the San Fernando Valley responded around 5 p.m. […]
With the 2026-27 roster nearing completion, the focus from the Gonzaga Bulldogs has switched over to the international market. 6-10 forward/center Izan Almansa from Real Madrid has committed to the Zags, per La Xarxa’s Oscar Herreros. Another piece from Spain, with the help of assistant coach and Director of Basketball Operations Jorge Sanz, is added […]
Graham Ike is done at Gonzaga. He arrived in Spokane as a zero-star recruit from Aurora, Colorado, a high-upside gamble with a long injury history and a six-foot-nine frame that made scouts wonder if he was built to dominate the modern college game. Three seasons later, he left as one of the greatest players in […]
On a beautiful day at Benedetti Stadium, the home of the San Francisco Dons (22-26, 13-10 WCC), the Gonzaga Bulldogs (31-17, 18-5 WCC) clinched the West Coast Conference regular-season title and the No. 1 seed for the upcoming West Coast Conference Tournament in Scottsdale, Arizona. This was Gonzaga’s first regular-season conference title since 2022. It […]
From the Gonzaga Bulldogs 2026 recruiting class, four-star center Sam Funches will participate in the 2026 USA Basketball U18 National Team training camp in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Training camp begins Thursday, May 21. Once cuts are made, the 12-member team will head off to the 2026 FIBA U18 Men’s AmeriCup in Leon, Mexico, from June […]
The Players Era Festival in Las Vegas, Nevada, heard the concerns from the fans and created two brackets. The first will be an eight-team bracket the week of Nov. 16, the week before Thanksgiving. The Gonzaga Bulldogs will be playing in the 16-team bracket the week of Nov. 23, the week of Thanksgiving. ESPN is […]
Gonzaga Bulldogs great and two-time West Coast Conference Player of the Year, 6-0 forward Yvonne Ejim, has a chance to make her home country’s WNBA team Toronto Tempo’s inaugural roster. The Calgary, Alberta, Canada, native last played with IDK Euskotren in San Sebastian, Spain, averaging 9.8 points on a shooting split of 50.3 percent on […]
Gonzaga Bulldogs fans have always had a soft spot for the walk-ons. Rem Bakamus and Dustin Triano became two of the most beloved Zags of their era without ever really seeing the floor. Mike Hart remains the gold standard of the walk-on success story at Gonzaga. Hart showed up in 2008 as an unknown from […]
