Gonzaga basketball NCAA Tournament history
Mark Few has made Gonzaga an NCAA Tournament powerhouse in recent years. They have made it to the Sweet 16 or better each year since 2015. That includes four Elite Eight appearances.
The Bulldogs lost to North Carolina in the National Championship Game in 2017. Last year they fell to Baylor with the title on the line.
Despite immense success this century, they have never won a national title.
Timme and company are tasked with changing that this year. They once again rolled through their regular season schedule and captured the West Coast Conference title. Their exploits earned them a No. 1 seed in the bracket this year. The hard part will be rolling through the rounds with so many challengers out for an upset.
