2013 NBA Draft Combine Participants
The NBA Draft Combine hits Chicago next week. It’s the most…..wonderful…..time……of the year!!!!!!! Ok, not really. But it’s still a pretty cool event. Most likely everyone who’s going to get picked in the NBA Draft comes to the Second City for workouts with NBA scouts and interviews with the media.
The invite list did not include the Gophers’ Rodney Williams (that’s...
Sweet 16th: Will Gonzaga's Tourney run continue?
In the past 15 years all the Zags have to show for themselves is 13 West Coast Conference regular season titles, 11 WCC tourney titles, 10 conference Player's of the Year, and 15 straight NCAA tournament appearances. But because they haven't advanced to the Sweet 16 in 5 years (even though they've been upset by a lower seed once in that span, and beat one higher seed...
Gonzaga Banter for the Hater
A week later and I am still left scratching my head. Last Saturday night the number one ranked team in the country in Gonzaga went down to red hot Wichita State, who are now in the Elite 8. As I searched for words to best described the outcome, it only seemed appropriate to resort to a derivative of Wichita’s mascot itself…shocking. The Zags were arguably in the least challenging...
Wichita takes Gonzaga's slipper, opens up West
SALT LAKE CITY Now Gonzaga knows how it feels. The glass slipper fits Wichita State.

Gonzaga built its program on NCAA tournament upsets beginning...

The Bulldogs are making their 15th consecutive appearance in the NCAA tournament this season, all he has ever known, and a streak exceeded only by Duke, Kansas and Michigan State. His dad understands how special it is.

Gonzaga earns first No. 1 seed ever
Once Mark Few saw the names of Miami and Duke pop up as No. 2 seeds in other regions, the long-tenured Gonzaga coach knew there would be another first to check off for the 2013 season.
No controversy here. Top-ranked Gonzaga is a No. 1 seed for the first time in school history.
''There was still that apprehension about whether or not we were going to be a No. 1 or No. 2...
No. 1 Gonzaga rolls over Saint Mary's 65-51 at WCC
Gonzaga played well enough to earn a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament, all season and in the West Coast Conference title game.
Whether the top-ranked Zags get that top spot won't be decided until the weekend, not that it matters all that much to them.
''We've been playing great basketball all year,'' Gonzaga forward Elias Harris said after the Zags rolled...
Column: Zags show they deserve the No. 1 ranking
(Eds: With AP Photos.) By TIM DAHLBERG AP Sports Columnist Their reign as No. 1 is little more than a week old, yet it seems a comfortable fit for the little school that can. Gonzaga plays like a team without a big target on its uniform, something that should serve the Zags well as they head into the NCAA tournament in search of something a bit more tangible than their ranking as...
Saint Mary's loss 65-51 to No. 1 Gonzaga at WCC
Saint Mary's took care of the ball, got some good looks at the basket and generally had a decent game at the offensive end.
The Gaels just couldn't get anything to go in, which gave them no chance against a team like top-ranked Gonzaga.
Leading scorer Matthew Dellavedova struggled against Gonzaga's trapping defense and the rest of the Gaels clanged one shot after to...

Saint Mary's (Cal)-Gonzaga Preview
What likely separates Gonzaga from earning its first No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament is a matchup with its West Coast Conference nemesis.
After paying the Gaels back for ending their 11-year dominance of WCC regular-season titles, the top-ranked Bulldogs will try to avenge last season's conference tournament defeat when the teams meet again in Las Vegas on Monday night.

The Ultimate Bracket Buster: Is Gonzaga Really The Best Team In The Country?
This year’s college basketball season has been one of the craziest in recent memory because there is no dominant team. The Indiana Hoosiers were thought to have been that team until their recent slip up against Minnesota on Tuesday. When the AP Poll came out Monday, the new number one was the Gonzaga Bulldogs, a West Coast Conference team. It is only fitting that a non-power six...
