The Gonzaga Bulldogs’ NCAA Tournament run came to an end in stunning fashion, as they fell to the Houston Cougars 49-44 in a thrilling matchup in the Round of 32. The Bulldogs, who were seeking their first Sweet 16 appearance since 2017, struggled to find rhythm on offense and defense, shooting just 31.3% from the field. Houston, meanwhile, rode the hot shooting of J’aden Ivey and the strong play of Fabian White to victory. The Cougars now advance to the Sweet 16, where they’ll face Syracuse in a rematch of their regular season meeting.
