† Conference tournament winner Rankings from AP poll |
The 2017–18 Gonzaga Bulldogs men's basketball team represents Gonzaga University in the 2017–18 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The team is led by head coach Mark Few, who is in his 19th season as head coach. The team plays its home games at McCarthey Athletic Center, which has a capacity of 6,000. The Bulldogs (also informally referred to as the Zags) are playing in their 38th season as a member of the West Coast Conference.
Previous Season
[edit]The 2016-17 Gonzaga Bulldogs team finished the season with a 37–1 record. The 2016–17 season was arguably the greatest season in Gonzaga's 109-year basketball history. The Bulldogs finished with a 32–1 regular season record and did not lose a game until February. They finished ranked second in the AP Poll, the highest final national ranking in school history. They won both the West Coast Conference regular season and tournament championships, and advanced to the first NCAA National Championship game in the school's history--the deepest run for a WCC team since San Francisco advanced to its third consecutive Final Four in 1957. With a victory over South Carolina in the regional semifinal, the Bulldogs tied the NCAA Division I record for the second-most wins in a season. Their run ended in the NCAA National Championship game, where they lost to North Carolina.
