Gonzaga silences doubters with win at Kentucky: 'These guys probably hear the noise … and it’s probably not fun to listen to'
After being ranked in the top 10 of the AP Poll earlier this season, to now sitting on the bubble to make the 2024 NCAA Tournament, the Gonzaga Bulldogs' 2023-24 campaign has been quite the roller coaster.
With the ups and downs follows a lot of noise from the outside, as fans and prognosticators alike ponder if Gonzaga can keep its NCAA Tournament appearance streak alive. A 64-62 loss at home to Saint Mary's pushed the Bulldogs off the bubble momentarily, as they dropped to 0-5 in Quad 1 games and fell two games back of the Gaels for first place in the West Coast Conference standings.
A week after the setback, Gonzaga drowned out the noise, came together as a whole and pulled off an 89-85 upset over then-No. 17 Kentucky at Rupp Arena. The win put Mark Few's team back into postseason discussion, even if it didn't secure a spot in the 68-team field entirely, with six more WCC games left including road games at San Francisco in the Chase Center (Feb. 29) and at Saint Mary's (March 2).
