Gonzaga Bulldogs outlook

RECORD: 17-9 overall, 7-3 WCC

COMING UP: Tonight vs. Santa Clara, 6 (KHQ); Saturday vs. San Francisco, 5 p.m. (KHQ)

OUTLOOK: Gonzaga lost to both of this week’s opponents on the road last month. The games loom large for tournament-seeding purposes, especially with the first tiebreaker head-to-head results. Santa Clara sophomore guard Kevin Foster averages 20.7 points per WCC game, but he’s made just 38.1 percent of his shots. Marc Trasolini (10.7) and Evan Roquemore (10.6) also average double digits. San Francisco had five players score at least 15 points, led by freshman guard Cody Doolin’s career-high 23, in a 96-91 overtime win against Gonzaga. The Dons’ 7-3 WCC mark is their best since having the same record in the 2002 season.
