Prediction published on 3/1/25, 2:55 PM  by Travis Pulver | Modified on 3/1/25 at 4:40 PM in Basketball Picks

The Gonzaga Bulldogs (22-8, 13-4) will try to end the regular season with a win when they face the  San Francisco Dons (23-7, 13-4) at the Chase Center in San Francisco, CA. Tipoff for this West Coast Conference matchup is scheduled for 11 p.m. ET with coverage via ESPN and ESPN+.

Most teams would consider a 22-win season a rousing success, but it will set a new low for the Bulldogs under Mark Few (he took over for Dan Monson in 1999-2000). The Bulldogs are still projected to make the Tournament. But a win or two down the stretch could improve their seeding. While it has been a down year for them, the Bulldogs beat the Dons 88-77 when they played at the McCarthey Athletic Center in Spokane a few weeks ago (Feb. 13). San Francisco played them to a tie, 38-38, at the break but the Bulldogs poured it in on in the second to secure their 54th win over the Dons. As for San Francisco, the Dons have gone 3-0 since losing to Gonzaga, while the Bulldogs have gone 2-1 with a loss to Saint Mary’s last Saturday.

The winner of the game will secure the second-best regular season record in the conference.
