In the world of college basketball, the name Gonzaga Bulldogs has long been synonymous with excellence. Yet, as Selection Sunday approaches, the usual certainty of Gonzaga securing a top seed in the NCAA tournament is not as assured. However, recent performances indicate that the Bulldogs are hitting their stride at just the right moment.
In their latest matchup against the University of San Francisco Dons, Gonzaga showcased their dominance with a decisive 86-68 victory. Despite playing on semi-neutral ground at the Chase Center in San Francisco, the Bulldogs asserted their superiority, covering the spread as 4.5-point favorites. This win marks their seventh consecutive triumph, a testament to their resurgence on the court.
While Gonzaga’s path to March Madness might not rely solely on an automatic bid from the WCC conference tournament, their current form suggests they’re more than capable of earning their spot. However, what’s intriguing this season is the absence of the usual pressure that accompanies Gonzaga’s perennial success.
