Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs begin a two-game road trip down south in Oregon on Wednesday, squaring off against the Portland Pilots at the Chiles Center.
Gonzaga (22-1, 10-0) boasts a 15-game winning streak spanning all of December and January, including the last five without their second leading scorer in Braden Huff. Huff remains on the shelf with a left knee injury, although the Zags did get good news on Saturday when Graham Ike returned after a three-game absence due to ankle soreness and dropped 30 points on Saint Mary's in an eight-point victory.
In the three games Gonzaga was without Ike and Huff, the team went with a small-ball lineup featuring 6'7 Jalen Warley at the five, and while the unit wasn't particularly effective offensively, it was spectacular on defense. Against an undersized and poor rebounding Portland team on Wednesday, it would not be a surprise to see the Zags deploy this lineup periodically in an effort to limit Ike's minutes after he played a season-high 37 on Saturday against the Gaels.
Portland (10-14, 3-8) is currently on a three-game losing streak: a narrow six-point loss against the Gaels, followed by a 23-point drubbing at Pacific and an even worse 30-point loss at Washington State. Shantay Legans' team boasts a very strong freshman point guard in Joel Foxwell, who is averaging 15.3 points and leads the WCC with 6.8 assists per game, but otherwise struggles to put the ball in the net – with a 50.7% effective field goal rate that ranks 195th in the country per KenPom.
Gonzaga has gone 24-1 at the Chiles Center in coach Few's tenure, with Wednesday's bout the final one before the Zags move into the new look Pac-12 in 2026-27. The game will tip at 7:00 PM PT and is set to be broadcast on ESPN+.
