Gonzaga

Gonzaga College 35 Blackrock College 31. It was a Leinster Schools Senior Cup final for the ages, a rip-roaring, enthralling spectacle, the rugby brilliant ...

Two tries from tighthead prop Mullan in a 10-minute spell, underlined by some excellent team handling, tip on passes and power in the collisions, took Blackrock into the lead. At 21-10 Gonzaga were in the box seat at the interval. When Wilson was held up over the line with five minutes remaining Gonzaga supporters might have feared the worst. Luke McLaughlin and Jamie Kennedy stood out even among the collective excellence of the Gonzaga eight. Captain and number eight Paul Wilson, who won an All-Ireland minor football title with Meath, had a colossal game, surrounded by team-mates who were equally uncompromising, focused and diligent. Fullback Charlie Molony excelled on restarts and had some good moments in broken play.

Gonzaga made their first Leinster Schools Senior Cup final in 2019 and four years on, and two final defeats later, they completed a journey that started ...

It was Gonzaga‘s turn to chase the game. Wilson was held up over the whitewash. They had the horses for the job. It wasn’t a time to play the percentages. A thing of beauty. And then.

Grand Canyon University men's basketball hopes to one day build a mid-major powerhouse like Gonzaga's. Coach Bryce Drew understands patience is key, ...

“This group has been really loose throughout the last few weeks of conference tournament,” Drew said. “(The school was) just really selling GCU, what they wanted to be, and that was just a faith-driven school,” junior forward Gabe McGlothan said. The culture, rooted in family, that brought McGlothan and Harrison together at GCU has been put to test throughout the season. “I think we’re on the way to (building what Gonzaga has built),” Drew said. It takes steps, and I think we’re taking the right steps to get there.” However, the Lopes’ run to the NCAA tournament wasn’t immune to adversity, and before Friday’s tip-off against No.

It was a formidable effort from 14th-seeded Grand Canyon but it fell to third-seeded Gonzaga in the NCAA Tournament on Friday.

That included the program’s first-ever nod in 2021 when it lost to second-seeded Iowa. GCU was very much in the game in the first half. A fair bit of that had to do with losing the Preseason WAC Player of the Year, as guard Jovan Blacksher Jr.

The No. 3 Gonzaga Bulldogs are moving on with their victory over No. 14 Grand Canyon in the first round of the NCAA tournament on Friday night.

With his dad, LaPhonso Ellis, sitting in the stands, Walter Ellis had nine points before fouling out for Grand Canyon. In the end, the game was a lot like Gonzaga’s season — slow start, better as things kept going and a chance to do more. The Bulldogs had their 75-game home winning streak snapped in January, and this marked the first time since 2018 they came into the tournament as anything other than a No. He scored 16 of his 28 in the first half. After that, Gonzaga went on a 16-0 run during which the 14th-seeded Lopes (24-12), champions of the Western Athletic Conference, missed 11 straight shots and fell behind by 22. After trailing by as many as seven, Timme's three-point play gave Gonzaga a 48-40 lead early in the second half.

Nobody had a chance to replicate that for the Lopes, though. In the end, the game was a lot like Gonzaga's season — slow start, better as things kept going and a chance to do more.

Again, he’s probably the most recognizable player in the whole NCAA Tournament, and I expect him to have more big games in this tournament.” “I’ll be screaming at the TV, to be honest, it’s really just fun to watch them,” Harris said. “That’s what it’s been like the whole time,” Gonzaga forward Drew Timme said. There may have been some communication between the Drew brothers in the lead-up to Friday’s game, especially with Baylor also opening the NCAA Tournament in Denver, but Grand Canyon didn’t overhaul its defensive scheme in an attempt to slow Gonzaga’s all-time leading scorer. “We don’t need another circus show going on, we’ve already got one going on right now,” Timme said. It’s hard not to focus on that a little bit.” “Once you get on the court and we start playing, you’ve got to lock in, but it’s hard not to look up and see that game,” Gonzaga forward Anton Watson said. “But I feel like she’s doing a pretty good job.” A handful of fans had been following the action between No. 11 Arizona State – the winner advancing to play the Bulldogs on Sunday in the round of 32. “She’s doing amazing, her defense stands out and speaks for itself,” Harris said. He made a full recovery during the offseason but has played sparingly as the third guard off Mark Few’s bench behind senior Malachi Smith and sophomore Hunter Sallis, while appearing in nine of 35 games.
