Despite winning four games in just a seven-day span, the Gonzaga Bulldogs moved down one spot in the Associated Press Poll to No. 8. Their 16 wins are the most in the country. The Zags received 1,101 total points in the AP Poll. The Saint Mary’s Gaels, at an overall 15-2 record, received 10 votes. […]
For the third straight week, forward Lauren Whittaker has been named the top freshman in the West Coast Conference. This time, she shared the honor with San Francisco Dons guard Aina Cargol. During the 3-1 stretch in the last seven days for the Zags, Whittaker averaged 19.7 points per game on a 55.6 field goal […]
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. 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 […]

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 […]

The star forward in Spokane, Washington, wasn’t receiving any preseason notoriety across the national media. Now, she should be up there with the likes of USC’s Jazzy Davidson, LSU’s Grace Knox, and Oklahoma’s Aaliyah Chavez. Among freshmen in the national rankings, Whittaker is second in points per game (19.4) and sixth in rebounds per game […]
Gonzaga opened West Coast Conference play Sunday night in Malibu by blowing the game open early and never letting it narrow. The 96-56 win over Pepperdine moves the Zags to 13-1 on the season and extended one of the longest win streaks in college basketball to 50-0 as the Waves kept searching for their first […]
The West Coast Conference season opener for coach Lisa Fortier’s Zags (8-5 overall record) begins with the Loyola Marymount Lions (6-5 overall record) inside the Kennel. Gonzaga hopes to cut down the turnovers that caused so many problems for themselves during the non-conference. The Zags made those costly mistakes 19.1 times per game (286th-most in […]

The No. 7 Gonzaga Bulldogs’ farewell tour with all 11 other West Coast Conference programs (possibly not with the Saint Mary’s Gaels?) begins against the Pepperdine Waves (5-8 overall record) at the Firestone Fieldhouse in Malibu, California. In 100 games between the two programs dating back to 1964, Gonzaga has been well in control, 69-31. […]
Not only was the force down low for the Zags named the West Coast Conference Freshman of the Week for the fourth time this season, but the Player of the Week for the first time in her young career as well. Redshirt freshman forward Lauren Whittaker from Canterbury, New Zealand, averaged 19.7 points and 12.7 […]
The talented, efficient post-scorer is continuing his stretch of dominance this week, winning his second West Coast Conference Player of the Week trophy in the last three weeks. Gonzaga redshirt junior forward Braden Huff averaged 28.5 points on a 73.5 field goal percentage and 50.0 three-point percentage, seven rebounds, and a block in victories over […]
Finishing with a 12-1 non-conference record after a 98-70 win against the Campbell Fighting Camels in the Kennel and a 91-82 victory over the Oregon Ducks in Portland, Oregon, the Gonzaga Bulldogs stay at No. 7 in the Associated Press Poll. The Zags received 1,080 total points. The Saint Mary’s Gaels, at an overall 11-2 […]
