'Gonzaga Bulldogs Basketball Tickets'

The Gonzaga Bulldogs' basketball team is one of the unique underdog stories in sports history. The team rose from the lower ranks of Division I to become one of the nation's top teams in the 2010s. A mid-sized school with little basketball history, Gonzaga made its first-ever NCAA appearance in 1995 but couldn't advance past

Maryland

in the first round. In 1999, the team returned to the NCAA Tournament as a 10 seed. During its famous Cinderella run that year, Gonzaga defeated

Stanford

and

Florida

before losing to eventual champion

Connecticut

in the Elite Eight regional finals. After head coach Dan Monson took the job at

Minnesota

in the offseason, the school hired Mark Few to lead the team. With his panache for recruiting and player development, Few molded the team into a perennial title contender and set the school record for the number of wins. In its best-ever season under Few, Gonzaga finished 37-2 and went to the 2017 national championship game, but it lost to

North Carolina

by a score of 71-65. If you are a fan of the team, then you can purchase Gonzaga Bulldogs' basketball tickets at StubHub.

'What is a Gonzaga game like?'

'Gonzaga basketball has a distinct home-court advantage. With a loud, raucous atmosphere, it is known for the Kennel Club student section, the tradition of the Empty Chair and the Go, Gonzaga! fight song played by the school band. During breaks and timeouts, fans can enjoy a performance from the official dance team and a coed student hip hop dance group known as the Bomb Squad. The school is represented by a costumed mascot called Spike the Bulldog.'

'Who are Gonzaga’s biggest rivals?'

'

Gonzaga shares a conference rivalry with

Saint Mary’s

. Because Gonzaga and Saint Mary’s have largely dominated the West Coast Conference in the 21st century, the outcome of their games often determines the conference champion. The 100th overall meeting between the teams occurred at the end of the 2019 season. Gonzaga also occasionally plays in-state Pac-12 team Washington. Although the teams first played in 1910, the rivalry has grown more heated in the 21st century as both programs have become more successful on a national stage.
