SPOKANE, Wash. — The Gonzaga Bulldogs hit the court for the first time in nine days on Friday for a game against the national runner-up San Diego State Aztecs. Friday’s game will be the second game in the last three where the Zags take on a team that played for a national championship in 2023. Gonzaga dropped their game against UCONN 76-63 on December 15.
The Gonzaga Bulldogs are in the midst of one of the most challenging stretches of their schedule. Following Friday’s game, the team will have played Washington, UCONN and San Diego State in a matter of three weeks. The team dropped the first two games, so they are still looking for a signature win on the season.
The game against San Diego State on Friday will be just the fifth time the two teams have matched up. The all-time series is tied at 2-2.
