Grand Canyon and SeattleU will join the WCC in 2025! | What does it mean for the Gonzaga Bulldogs?

Locked On Zags - Daily Podcast On Gonzaga Bulldogs Basketball

The West Coast Conference officially accepted Grand Canyon and Seattle University as full-time members starting in the 2025-26 season, and we discuss what it means for Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs. The new additions brings the WCC up to 11 full time members, and for one year the conference will have 13 while Oregon State and Washington State are still members.

Grand Canyon has played a WCC team in each of the past two NCAA Tournaments, losing to the Zags in 2023 as a 14 seed and beating Saint Mary's as a 12 seed in 2024, in Spokane. Can they build the program up to the point where they are an at-large threat out of the conference?

We close out the show discussing SeattleU, a program that went to five Sweet 16's back in the 1950's and 60's, including losing an NCAA Tournament championship to Kentucky in 1958. They've worked hard to get back to prominence after dropping to NAIA until 2010, and have won 20 or more games in three straight seasons under coach Chris Victor.
