Gonzaga Rewinds: Bulldogs' Backcourt Duo Propels Zags to Thrilling San Diego Victory

Mark Few acknowledged that some nostalgic sentiment might be expected, given Gonzaga’s impending departure from the West Coast Conference. However, the Bulldog head coach remained focused on the task at hand, dismissing notions of a sentimental farewell tour. As his team geared up for Sunday’s matchup against Pepperdine in San Diego, Few emphasized the importance of approaching each remaining league game with renewed intensity and purpose. The Bulldogs’ backcourt tandem of Jalen Warley and Tyon Grant-Foster played pivotal roles in Gonzaga’s 85-73 win over the Waves. Warley, a junior guard, notched 20 points on 7-of-12 shooting from beyond the arc, while Grant-Foster contributed 17 points, including three clutch three-pointers down the stretch. With their performance on full display, Warley and Grant-Foster served as beacons of hope for Gonzaga’s dwindling window in the WCC. The dynamic duo’s efforts helped fuel a crucial victory that propelled the Bulldogs toward their final regular-season win in San Diego.
