Gonzaga Seeks Consistency as WSU Visits the Kennel
Washington State comes to the Kennel on Tuesday night for an 8:00 PM PST tip, with ESPN2 carrying the broadcast. The Bulldogs are home after a week that has dramatically raised the stakes for the remainder of its regular season. The Zags are coming off a commanding 20-point win over Oregon State at Gill Coliseum, […]
Zags Take Major Fall in AP Poll
The Gonzaga Bulldogs dropped six spots in the Associated Press Poll after the blunder at the Portland Pilots last week. The Zags are currently at No. 12 with 803 total votes. The Santa Clara Broncos received two votes, and Saint Mary’s Gaels received one vote. There is a realistic chance that the West Coast Conference […]
Graham Ike’s Career Night Lifts Gonzaga to 81-61 Win at Oregon State
After a dog-faced ugly loss to the Portland Pilots earlier in the week, the question on every fan’s mind was how the Zags (and coach Mark Few) would respond. Would they rally? Play out of their absolute minds? Leave with a convincing win? Or would the loss shell-shock them so thoroughly that they’d cough up […]
Ike’s Career Night Lifts Gonzaga to 81-61 Win at Oregon State
After a dog-faced ugly loss to University of Portland earlier in the week, the question on every fans mind was how would the Zags (and Mark Few) respond. Would they rally? Play out of their absolute minds? Leave with a convincing win? Or would the loss shell-shock them so thoroughly that they’d cough up the […]
Gonzaga at Oregon State Preview: Forget, Correct, Execute
Wednesday night in Portland, Oregon, was a nightmare. The 87-80 loss to the Portland Pilots was arguably the worst in the coach Mark Few era and will hurt his No. 6 Gonzaga Bulldogs (22-2, 10-1 WCC) come Selection Sunday as a Quad 3 loss. But it’s time to move past. The road trip through the […]

Lisa Fortier and the Gang Control Their Own Destiny

A much different story from the 92-87 overtime loss in Corvallis, Oregon, just two weeks ago. Senior guard Ines […]
Graham Ike Listed as Karl Malone Award Midseason Candidate
Gonzaga Bulldogs graduate forward Graham Ike was named one of the 10 midseason candidates for the Karl Malone Award, which is given to the best power forward in college basketball.

Portland Shocks College Basketball World and Upsets Gonzaga in the Rose City, 87-80
One, if not the biggest upset in this 2025-26 college basketball season, occurred at the Chiles Center on Feb. 4, 2026. Definitely the most in the West Coast Conference’s history over the last 30 years. On the first leg of the road trip through the state of Oregon, the hangover for the No. 6 Gonzaga […]
Oregon State at Gonzaga Women Open Thread
Revenge opportunity for the Gonzaga women (16-7, 8-2 WCC) against the Oregon State Beavers (17-6, 9-1 WCC) in the Kennel tonight. First place in the West Coast Conference standings is on the line.

Graham Ike, Lauren Whittaker Earn Yet Another West Coast Conference Honor
No surprise here as graduate forward Graham Ike has won his fourth West Coast Conference Player of the Week award of the season after his memorable performance against the Saint Mary’s Gaels over the weekend, the first time he’s beaten the rival inside the Kennel throughout his career. He looked like a First Team All-American […]
No Movement in AP Poll for Gonzaga
Despite a rivalry victory over the Saint Mary’s Gaels (19-4, 8-2 WCC) in Spokane, Washington, that Saturday, Jan. 31, the Gonzaga Bulldogs (22-1, 10-0 WCC) stayed put at No. 6 in the Associated Press Poll. That’s surprising given the fact that the 2-0 Illinois Fighting Illini jumped up four spots from No. 9 to No. […]
Chet Holmgren Named NBA All-Star for First Time in His Career
Oklahoma City Thunder center Chet Holmgren joins John Stockton and Domantas Sabonis as the third former Gonzaga Bulldog to be named an NBA All-Star as a reserve for Team USA.

Gonzaga Survives the Slog, Reclaims the Kennel in 73-65 Win Over Saint Mary’s
The Gonzaga Bulldogs beat the Saint Mary’s Gaels 73-65 Saturday night in the McCarthey Athletic Center. They did exactly what was needed to get the win, speeding up the Gaels, protecting the ball, and leaning on a dominant return from Graham Ike, who sat out the last three games with a bum ankle. The Zags […]
Saint Mary’s vs. Gonzaga Preview: The Triumphant Return of Graham Ike
When recently speaking to the local and national media, coach Mark Few broke the colossal news that team-leading scorer and rebounder, graduate forward Graham Ike, plans to make his return for the pivotal West Coast Conference rivalry matchup on Saturday, Jan. 31, in the Kennel. “He’s had two really, really good practices. Sometimes when you […]

Jalen Warley, Davis Fogle Have Answered Call For Undermanned Zags
With graduate forward Graham Ike and redshirt junior Braden Huff dealing with their own respective injuries, the Gonzaga Bulldogs have lost a whole lot of All-American size and skill in the frontcourt over the last three matchups. In their place, senior wing Jalen Warley and true freshman wing Davis Fogle have stepped up. Warley had […]

She was on the preseason watchlist last season as well. […]
Courtney Vandersloot Makes Acting Debut
The acting bug is in the air for the former Zags. Not too long ago, it was Gonzaga legend Jeremy Pargo who expanded his resume to writing, producing, and starring in “The Final Play” movie.
