Gonzaga departs the NCAAs: What’s next for the Zags as revenue sharing arrives and the Pac-12 looms
The streak, one of the most remarkable in college basketball, is over.
For the first time since 2014, there will be a Sweet 16 without Gonzaga.
Prior to an 81-76 loss to Houston on Saturday in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, the Bulldogs had reached the Sweet 16 in nine consecutive tournaments. Only North Carolina and Duke — two of the bluest bloods in the sport — have equalled that feat since the field expanded to 64 teams four decades ago.
That’s the list. North Carolina, Duke and Gonzaga.
