Portland stuns Gonzaga as defense collapses in unexpected upset

Gonzaga suffered an 87-80 upset at home to Portland, in what is described as one of the season’s most unlikely results. Coach Mark Few criticized the Zags’ porous defense, inconsistent rotations, and poor shot selection, noting Portland took open looks and made them while Gonzaga failed to mount sustained stops. Portland guard Joel Foxwell finished with 27 points and eight assists, guiding the Pilots to their first win over an AP Top 10 team as Gonzaga, ranked No. 6 in the AP poll, No. 5 NET, and No. 11 in KenPom, fell short. Few urged his team to bear down and respond with better defense and execution going forward.

Gonzaga dominates Grand Canyon to advance in NCAA tournament.

Gonzaga, a perennial basketball powerhouse, won their first-round game against Grand Canyon University in the NCAA tournament as a No. 3 seed in the West Region. This is a less pressure theme for the team that has been a No. 1 seed in each of its previous three tournament trips, including a title game loss to Baylor in the 2021 tournament. Gonzaga's coach, Mark Few, believes that the seeding is more for bracket predictions and that the players and staff focus on the task at hand.
