No Ike, No Huff, No Problem: Gonzaga Crushes Seattle U 70-51
Gonzaga arrived at Climate Pledge Arena on Saturday night for a neutral-site rematch with Seattle U, this time playing in front of a crowd that leaned heavily Redhawk red.

The No. 9 Gonzaga Bulldogs rolled into Pullman on Wednesday night and handled business against the Washington State Cougars, pulling out an 86-65 win after an uneven opening stretch from the Gonzaga defense and an early barrage of Cougar threes. Washington State opened strong and knocked down a ton of shots from deep. They kept […]

In a terrible twist, Gonzaga Bulldogs redshirt junior forward Braden Huff will be out 4-to-8 weeks with a left knee injury that he suffered yesterday at practice.

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.

It was an ugly night that left no doubt that Gonzaga’s defense required immediate recalibration. […]
