The No. 3 Gonzaga Bulldogs take on the No. 14 Grand Canyon Antelopes for the first time in school history as they open their trek deep into the NCAA ...
A win over Gonzaga would certainly do the trick. 3 Gonzaga Bulldogs take on the No. The No.
It was a formidable effort from 14th-seeded Grand Canyon but it fell to third-seeded Gonzaga in the NCAA Tournament on Friday.
That included the program’s first-ever nod in 2021 when it lost to second-seeded Iowa. GCU was very much in the game in the first half. A fair bit of that had to do with losing the Preseason WAC Player of the Year, as guard Jovan Blacksher Jr.
Julian Strawther's 28 points and 10 rebounds paced the 3-seeded Gonzaga Bulldogs past the 14-seeded Grand Canyon Antelopes, 82-70, in the first round of ...

DENVER, Colo. (AP) — Slow-starting Gonzaga finally shook off the first-round jitters, then wore out Grand Canyon 82-70 behind 28 points and 10 rebounds from ...
Nobody had a chance to replicate that for the Lopes, though. In the end, the game was a lot like Gonzaga's season — slow start, better as things kept going and a chance to do more. Harrison led Grand Canyon, a fifth seed in the WAC tournament, to four straight wins and the March Madness bid by becoming the first Division I player to collect 80 points, 20 rebounds and 20 assists in a conference tournament since Kemba Walker (Big East) in 2011. The Bulldogs had their 75-game home winning streak snapped in January and this marked the first time since 2018 they came into the tournament as anything other than a No. He scored 16 of his 28 in the first half. After trailing by as many as seven, Timme's three-point play gave Gonzaga a 48-40 lead early in the second half.
