14 Feb
Summary
- Gonzaga is projected as a No. 4 seed in the West Region.
- Potential matchups include Portland State, Arkansas, and Arizona.
- Other WCC teams like Saint Mary's and Santa Clara also projected in tournament.

ESPN Bracketologist Joe Lunardi projects the Gonzaga Bulldogs as a No. 4 seed in the West Region for the upcoming NCAA Tournament. This projection places Gonzaga in Portland, Oregon, for their initial games, where they would potentially face the Portland State Vikings in the first round. The Vikings currently hold a 17-6 overall record and lead their conference.
Should the Bulldogs advance, they might encounter a challenging path, including a potential matchup against John Calipari's No. 5 seed Arkansas Razorbacks, led by freshman Darius Acuff. Further down the line, a highly anticipated showdown with No. 1 seed Arizona and coach Tommy Lloyd could occur in the Sweet 16.
The West Coast Conference is well-represented in Lunardi's projections, with Saint Mary's projected as a No. 9 seed in the Midwest and Santa Clara earning a No. 11 seed in the East. Gonzaga's upcoming game against Santa Clara on February 15th will be crucial for WCC standings.
