I’m suddenly awoken by a harsh ringing sound. This can’t be right. I grab my phone to turn off my alarm, and to my dismay, see the time displayed as 5:15 a.m. I groan and struggle to get out of bed. My head is in a fog as I dress in the dark while attempting to make as little noise as possib…

GU’s thrilling NCAA Tournament run came to a close Sunday night, as Duke defeated the Zags 66-52 to advance to the Final Four. Here are five points that stand out from the game:
Last week, I had the opportunity to cover the Zags as they ran the WCC Tournament gantlet in Las Vegas.
A North Dakota State team that pulled off one of the NCAA Tournament’s biggest upsets last year — in Spokane, no less — doesn’t appear to be a cupcake first opponent for GU this season.
Sometimes hard work, dedication and talent are not enough. Without a little luck, it can be tough to thrive or advance in any facet of life, especially in the world of sports. Even some of the world’s best basketball players were never able to reach their full potential because they weren’t …
The inevitable happened. Frequent stretches of subpar play in February finally caught up to the Zags, but it’s a damn shame that lesson was learned on Senior Night for two of the most decorated guards in program history.
Gonzaga withstood a 3-point barrage in Southern California en route to another WCC regular season crown, establishing the longest winning streak in program history.
The Zags remain undefeated in West Coast Conference play, moving to 24-1 despite a rocky road trip to California. GU struggled in both contests, and was down during the second half against both Santa Clara and San Francisco.
Russell Wilson lined up in the shotgun formation. Ricardo Lockette flanked right, two yards deep of the line of scrimmage. Mere inches to his left stood Jermaine Kearse, going face-to-face with ex-Legion of Boom member Brandon Browner.
The biggest game in the McCarthey Athletic Center over the last year and a half turned into a blowout. A pair of airtight defensive stretches in the second half, culminating in a 22-2 run over a seven-minute span, guided the Zags to a 68-47 win last Thursday night in front of a raucous Kennel.
Although my daily diet of sports-watching was much too low for my liking while I studied abroad in Florence last fall, I did make it to a few notable sports-related sites around Europe.
The Zags’ 18-1 start this season had the Bulletin diving deep into some advanced stats this week. Here are five points we gleaned after emerging from the sea of numbers:
The habitually stoic quarterback remained calm and collected while delivering blow after blow in the waning minutes of a historic comeback. Mere seconds following the Seattle Seahawks NFC Championship victory, Russell Wilson faced one battle he could not overcome: controlling his emotions. W…
