A disappointing outcome in the WCC Championship game did not prevent the Gonzaga Bulldogs from securing a No. 1 seed in the West region of the 2019 NCAA Tournament. The Bulldogs will face off against the winner between Fairleigh Dickinson (#208 in KenPom) and Prairie View A&M (#209) in Salt Lake City on Thursday, March 21. It is the 21st-consecutive NCAA Tournament for the Gonzaga Bulldogs.
This is the third Gonzaga team to secure a spot on the top seed-line, joining the 2013 and 2017 teams who also achieved the honor. After the 2017 team broke through to the Final Four, the only thing left to do for the program is to win a national championship.
