The farewell tour in the West Coast Conference continued Thursday for the Gonzaga women’s basketball team against the next-to-last-place San Diego Toreros.

Gonzaga-Santa Clara doesn’t approach the annual GU-Saint Mary’s collisions that seemingly determine the West Coast Conference hierarchy. But for sheer drama, individual excellence (hello Steve Nash), inexplicable fouls 70 feet from the hoop, game-winning shots and the expiration of a pair of lengthy homecourt winning streaks, Zags-Broncos more than holds its own for must-see moments over the course of Gonzaga’s 46-year run in the WCC.

PULLMAN – A woman has accused Washington State University basketball player Emmanuel Ugbo of stalking and harassing her after she ended their relationship.

The eight-team conference settled on a home-and-home model to fill the gap.

PULLMAN – Washington State’s first schedule in the rebuilt Pac-12 is here, and the Cougars’ lineup looks like none other in program history.

Ten days ago, at the midpoint of the Big Sky Conference’s men’s basketball season, the Eastern Washington Eagles were not in a great spot.

The 2026 Final Four could be a memorable weekend for Mark Few, regardless of whether his Gonzaga team is still competing for a national championship.

Gonzaga looked dominant. Washington State looked disjointed.

On a day dedicated to cancer awareness and prevention, something suddenly triggered tears. Fortier’s week was full of wet eyes – mostly attached to the gratefulness she has for conquering her recent battle with breast cancer.

Message boards are full of concerns about the high rate of turnovers for Gonzaga this season.

Gonzaga’s aggressive approach to nonconference scheduling won’t change as Mark Few’s program leaves the West Coast Conference for the revamped Pac-12 next season.

The trouble started early, remarkably early, too early to even exude a veneer of a competitive game. First, less than a minute into Tuesday’s game, Washington State forward Eemeli Yalaho lost the ball. Then, Yalaho threw away another turnover. The Cougars committed yet another turnover, once more of the unforced variety, when fellow forward ND Okafor was called for an obvious traveling violation.

Gonzaga’s starters had established an eight-point lead Tuesday night against Washington State by the time Mark Few made personnel changes at the second media timeout.

Coming off his third 30-point outing of the season, Gonzaga forward Graham Ike was one of 20 players named to the Wooden Award Watch List on Tuesday.

Gonzaga grabbed a 16-point advantage and never looked back, leading by as many as 39 points in an eventual 83-53 win over rival Washington State at McCarthey Athletic Center.

Steve Myklebust has been broadcasting sports so long that he probably invented the phrase people often tease him about.

On Tuesday, Innocenti was a key reason why Washington State leading scorer Ace Glass and his teammates had off nights in Gonzaga’s 83-53 victory at the McCarthey Athletic Center. Glass, a talented 6-foot-3 freshman, came in averaging 16.5 points but produced only 12 points on 4-of-13 shooting, including 0 of 5 on 3-point attempts.

Three takeaways at the buzzer from Gonzaga’s 83-53 victory over Washington State on Tuesday at the McCarthey Athletic Center.

Washington State will be shorthanded at the wing position for the second time in as many games against Gonzaga, but based on who’s available the Cougars may feel they’re better-suited to spring an upset of the rival Zags than they were a month ago when the teams met in Pullman.
