2026 Tournament PreviewGonzaga enters this year's tournament ranked sixth in the NET and 10th by KenPom, with a resume built on non-conference wins against tournament teams Alabama, Kentucky and UCLA. The Zags have faced their share of adversity this season. Injuries, eligibility issues and a point-guard timeshare has led to coach Mark Few using 13 starting lineups. No injury was more impactful than that to 6-10 forward Braden Huff (17.8 ppg, 5.6 rpg), who hasn't played since hurting his knee in early January and is doubtful to return for the first weekend of the tournament. Gonzaga still has WCC Player of the Year Graham Ike (19.7 ppg, 8.2 rpg) to anchor the paint, though. The 6-9 senior posted a career high in scoring and a three-year high in rebounding in his fifth collegiate season, leading a defense that is 10th in efficiency, per KenPom, and 19th in rebounding rate. Gonzaga is 30-3, but a Quad 3 loss -- the only team in the NET top 20 with one -- and a 40-point loss to No. 1 seed Michigan show the Zags could be susceptible to a letdown, especially without Huff.
