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

It was a surprising beatdown by the Gonzaga Bulldogs (17-7, 9-2 WCC) in the second round of the rivalry matchup with the Oregon State Beavers (17-7, 9-2 WCC) in Spokane, Washington, 67-37, this past Thursday evening.

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. […]

Saint Mary’s vs. Gonzaga Preview: The Triumphant Return of Graham Ike

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 […]

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. The romantic comedy was created by his own production company, Pargo Productions, and can be viewed on Amazon Prime Video […]

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 […]
