Zags Ascend Two Spots in AP Poll
It’s pretty strange thinking the Gonzaga Bulldogs (21-1, 9-0 WCC) have beaten the San Francisco Dons an unbelievable 34 straight times, given that it always seems like these two teams make for a too-close-for-comfort finish. Nonetheless, that win in the Kennel over the weekend (along with a winless week for the Purdue Boilermakers and a […]
Short-Handed Gonzaga Holds Off Hot-Shooting USF, 68-66
It always seems to come down to the wire when the Zags face the Dons of San Francisco. Despite the fact that USF hasn’t beaten Gonzaga in Spokane since 1989, wins over the Dons never seem to come easy, usually decided by single possessions and tight margins in the scoring column. This one was no […]
USF’s Tyrone Riley IV’s Preparation for the Kennel in Spokane
It’s going to be a sad feeling when the No. 8 Gonzaga Bulldogs (20-1, 8-0 WCC) officially stop playing against the Bay Area competition like the San Francisco Dons (13-8, 5-3 WCC), Santa Clara Broncos, and maybe the Saint Mary’s Gaels? Just a maybe on that last one. The Slipper Still Fits was joined by […]
Oregon State Beats Gonzaga Women in Corvallis Overtime Thriller, 92-87
In an exhilarating overtime finish against the Oregon State Beavers (15-6, 7-1 WCC) in front of 4,000+ at the Gill Coliseum, the Gonzaga Bulldogs (14-7, 6-2 WCC) unfortunately fell to third place in the West Coast Conference standings. Gonzaga never trailed by more than eight points and was always near, but couldn’t get over the […]

Gonzaga Women at Oregon State: Control of West Coast Conference’s Top Spot
The Gonzaga Bulldogs women’s (14-6, 6-1 WCC) only chance of making the NCAA Tournament will come by winning the West Coast Conference Tournament in Las Vegas.

Youthful Davis Fogle Puts on Show in Front of Student-Filled Kennel
In the student body’s return to the Kennel in Spokane for the first time since Dec. 7, the No. 8 Gonzaga Bulldogs (20-1, 8-0 WCC) played it safe and sidelined graduate forward Graham Ike for the second straight game. He was seen in a boot on his right ankle on the bench once again. It […]

Game Preview: Gonzaga vs. Pepperdine in a Crucial Tune-Up at the Kennel
Gonzaga heads into Wednesday’s tilt against the Pepperdine Waves with a very strange type of momentum. Saturday’s matchup against the Redhawks of Seattle U resulted in a 70-51 win for the Bulldogs, and, even more impressively, they pulled it off without either Braden Huff or Graham Ike in uniform. It was a statement game built […]
Lauren Whittaker Wins Eighth West Coast Conference Freshman of the Week Award
Gonzaga redshirt freshman forward Lauren Whittaker continues to show off her dominance in the West Coast Conference, reaching her tenth double-double of the 2025-26 season with 26 points and 11 rebounds during the 82-69 victory over the San Francisco Dons this past Thursday, Jan. 15, in Spokane. The 6-3 talent chipped in seven points, 13 […]
Gonzaga Back Up to No. 8 in AP Poll
The Gonzaga Bulldogs (19-1, 7-0 WCC) have moved up a spot in the AP Poll after the Iowa State Cyclones struggled in Big 12 Conference play.

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 building was loud, even if a sizable portion of the city’s sports attention was likely tied up a few blocks away with the Seahawks dismantling […]
CFP National Championship 2026: Gonzaga fans predict Miami vs. Indiana
And then there were two. The College Football Playoff National Championship will be between the undefeated No. 1 Indiana Hoosiers out of the Big Ten Conference (15-0, 9-0 Big Ten) and the No. 10 Miami Hurricanes out of the Atlantic Coast Conference (13-2, 6-2 ACC).

Gonzaga vs. Seattle U Preview (Climate Pledge Arena)
The No. 9 Gonzaga Bulldogs (18-1, 6-0 WCC) now have to face life without redshirt junior forward Braden Huff for the foreseeable future with a left knee injury suffered in practice earlier this week. Based on what was witnessed in Pullman against the Washington State Cougars on this past Thursday night, this group has enough […]
Gonzaga Wins 86-65 at Washington State in First Game Without Braden Huff
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 […]
Braden Huff Out One to Two Months With Knee Injury
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. This bombshell came out right before tonight’s matchup with the Washington State Cougars. Huff will be seen on the bench with crutches by his side in Pullman. He […]
Gonzaga at Washington State Preview With Cougars Junior Forward Rihards Vavers
The Washington State Cougars (8-10, 3-2 WCC) had to deal with a plentiful amount of turnover this past offseason, losing the likes of senior guard Nate Calmese (Wake Forest Demon Deacons), redshirt junior forward LeJuan Watts (Texas Tech Red Raiders), and junior guard Isaiah Watts (Maryland Terrapins). Even with Cedric Coward, who now plays for […]

Lauren Whittaker Wins Seventh West Coast Conference Freshman of the Week Award
The new face of the Gonzaga Bulldogs program continues her dominant stretch. For the fourth straight week, forward Lauren Whittaker has been named the top freshman in the West Coast Conference.

Graham Ike Wins Third West Coast Conference Player of the Week Honor

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 […]
