Gonzaga Secures 8 Seed for 2025 NCAA Tournament

The Gonzaga men's basketball team has secured a No. 8 seed in the Midwest Region for the 2025 NCAA Tournament, facing 9-seed Georgia in the first round. The Bulldogs, with a record of 25-8, clinched their spot by winning the West Coast Conference championship against Saint Mary's, marking their 26th consecutive tournament appearance. Despite being ranked highly in offensive and defensive efficiency metrics, Gonzaga's lack of quality wins contributed to their lower seed. The matchup against Georgia will be crucial, as the winner is likely to face top-seeded Houston in the following round. Gonzaga's recent performance has been strong, winning 11 of their last 13 games, which may bolster their chances in the tournament. The team's historical consistency in reaching the NCAA Tournament adds to the anticipation surrounding their postseason journey.
