Gonzaga and San Francisco will play each other for the third straight season at the Chase Center on February 18th on ESPN, the home of the Golden State Warriors and Golden State Valkyries.
It’s just not the same; I would much rather watch these two West Coast Conference opponents go up against each other at historic War Memorial Gymnasium on the Hilltop.
The environment at the Chase Center is always a pro-Gonzaga crowd as well; it doesn’t have the effect of a true road test and can be distinguished between a Quad 1 and Quad 2 opportunity, with it being on a neutral site.
The Zags have beaten the Dons a remarkable 33-straight times, dating back to January of 2013. Gonzaga owns the all-time record against USF, 56-4.
In other WCC scheduling news, Gonzaga will play Seattle U at Climate Pledge Arena, home of the Seattle Kraken and Seattle Storm, on January 17th on ESPN+ at 7 p.m. PT. The Zags take on UCLA at Climate Pledge Arena as well as at the Seattle Hoops Showdown during the non-conference on December 14th.
Moving over to more non-conference scheduling news, Gonzaga and Kentucky’s matchup at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on December 5th will be on ESPN2 at 4 PM PT. Gonzaga and Oregon’s matchup at the Moda Center in Portland on December 21st will be on Peacock at 3 PM PT.
