SEATTLE – Much has been made about the collective age and experience on Gonzaga’s roster this season. Understandably so. It isn’t every day you see a college basketball team with eight players between the ages of 21 and 25. Not …
SEATTLE – Gonzaga’s starting frontcourt took another injury hit that could leave the ninth-ranked Bulldogs shorthanded for the foreseeable future. Graham Ike, who landed awkwardly near the end of Thursday’s blowout win at Washington State, missed Saturday’s game against Seattle …
SEATTLE – Mark Few and lead assistant Brian Michaelson have navigated just about every situation under the sun during their shared years at Gonzaga. Nothing like this week, though. What set up as a routine two-game road swing against Washington …

Yeah, No. 9-ranked Gonzaga pulled away from a gritty first-half effort by Washington State on Thursday to move to 18-1. But that was nowhere near the headline from the night.
