Killian Tillie scored 22 points in his return to the lineup and the No. 2 Gonzaga Bulldogs used a strong start to the second half to power past the San Francisco Dons 71-54 on Thursday night at McCarthey Athletic Center.

The Bulldogs add another win to their season. Tonight Gonzaga went head-to-head against the San Francisco Dons. It was a rough start for the Zags, but in the 2nd half they found their groove. Killian Tillie led the team with 22 PTS for the night. GU: 71 | USF: 54

San Francisco has a quartet of quality guards capable of big nights, but Charles Minlend is the team’s top scorer.

Twelve games in, Gonzaga’s 83-79 win over San Francisco earlier this month remains the Zags’ toughest WCC contest thus far.

There won’t be another 21-game winning streak for the Gonzaga women, at least not this season.

Buster Posey can certainly relish how reassuring it is to finally feel like himself again following a winter without rehabbing.

Every team has goals, and for the Gonzaga women a West Coast Conference regular-season championship is always at the top of the list. The Zags are almost ready to check that box.

Yoeli Childs and Jake Toolson scored 22 points apiece and visiting BYU overwhelmed Portland 85-54 on Thursday night.

San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan knows there’s criticism floating around after his team blew a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter of a Super Bowl loss to Kansas City.

The Super Bowl might have gone San Francisco’s way if only 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan had followed Bill Belichick’s lead and copied Vic Fangio’s blueprints.

Gonzaga sophomore Filip Petrusev was named WCC player of the week after averaging 27 points and 10 rebounds in a pair of road victories.

Katie Sowers made history, becoming the first woman to coach in the Super Bowl.

Kyle Shanahan will now have another Super Bowl collapse to answer questions about.

Patrick Mahomes led the Kansas City Chiefs to three touchdowns in the final 6:13, and they overcame a double-digit deficit for the third postseason game in a row to beat the San Francisco 49ers 31-20 in the Super Bowl.

Of course, that didn’t stop a commentator on ESPN’s college basketball wrap-up show Saturday night from trotting out the familiar refrain that it’s hard to gauge the Zags because they’re rarely challenged in the WCC – hours after they received a major challenge from San Francisco at War Memorial Gym.

A dancing Kendrick Bourne made his way down the steps of the San Francisco 49ers’ team plane after landing in Miami earlier this week, the sort of Super Bowl entrance Eastern Washington fans would expect from the animated wide receiver.

Plenty of time for Corey Kispert, who had been fairly quiet offensively, to deliver two of Gonzaga’s biggest baskets of the season as the Zags outlasted the Dons 83-79 on Saturday in front of a packed house of 3,006 – perhaps 40% sporting GU gear – at War Memorial Gym.

Offensive MVP, defensive MVP and key moment from Gonzaga’s 83-79 win at War Memorial Gym in San Francisco.

You knew it would happen at some point. A poor shooting day. Foul trouble. A decently loud home crowd.
