Gonzaga’s baseball team wrapped up a title-clinching weekend with another dominant win.

NCAA Tournament expansion has been lambasted by everyone except the executives running college basketball. Even prominent coaches hate the move to a 76-team field, with Gonzaga’s Mark Few telling CBS Sports recently that he’s “adamantly opposed. It’s totally unnecessary.”

Davis Fogle’s first offseason as a college basketball player is officially 50 days old.

SEATTLE – Ryan Walters is no stranger to second-year improvement. As a defensive coordinator, it’s his history-proven expectation.

PULLMAN – Washington State’s next basketball roster is all but complete.

Never say never with realignment, but it seems extremely unlikely that Gonzaga would have joined a conference featuring the 12 Mountain West schools and WSU and OSU.

PULLMAN – To earn their latest signing, Washington State coaches returned to the international pipeline.

Isiah Harwell is forgoing the opportunity to participate in this week’s G League Elite Camp and electing to focus on the next stage of his college basketball career.

Coaches have taken their time repopulating Eastern Washington’s men’s basketball roster during the last month, mostly because they don’t feel all that rushed.

Arizona State hired Bennett on March 23, but the 63-year-old coach started feeling ill shortly after his arrival to the Phoenix area. After meeting with the team, Bennett left work early. The next morning a program trainer took him to Mayo Clinic, where he stayed for 10 days.

The men's and women's tournaments will grow from 68 teams to 76 next season, the NCAA announced Thursday. The move is the most significant alteration to the men's tournament's format since 1984-85, when the field grew from 53 teams to 64, and to the women's format since it grew from 48 to 64 in 1994.

Gonzaga is officially returning to Las Vegas this fall to participate in college basketball’s largest nonconference event for the second time.

One week after announcing a commitment to Gonzaga, prized transfer portal center Massamba Diop has signed a financial aid agreement with the university, according to a news release.

Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd’s decision to pass on North Carolina and remain with the Wildcats brought him a raise, more money for his staff and a new chain of command, as the school’s president will make more high-level determinations for the program, rather than the athletic director.

Gonzaga’s baseball team flexed its formidable offense during a program record 14-game winning streak. But the Zags’ batters seemed to lose steam last week. The nation’s longest active winning streak came to an end. The Bulldogs’ highly productive lineup didn’t really look like itself during a surprisingly sluggish stretch – GU lost three of four games and dropped a West Coast Conference series for the first time this season.

SEATTLE – Darude’s “Sandstorm” won’t echo through Husky Stadium for the next three months. Neither will Endor’s “Pump It Up.”

The separation between Gonzaga and ESPN lasted six weeks. Less than six weeks, actually. It began March 21, the day of the Zags’ final game as a member of the West Coast Conference, and ended April 29. That’s when their new home, the Pac-12, learned all games broadcast on the CW, one of its core media partners, would also be available on the ESPN app.

SEATTLE – Demond Williams Jr. is Washington’s most divisive player, thanks to a withdrawn attempt to transfer elsewhere.

Friday night’s spring game capped off a series of 15 practice sessions for the Eastern Washington football team, which won’t officially reconvene until July 28 when the 2026 preseason begins.
