"We just have to battle," Gongaza guard Steven Gray said at a press conference after it was announced that the Bulldogs would play Florida St. in the first round of the NCAA basketball tournament in Buffalo, N.Y. "Let's just play hard. We just have to play the game."

The Gonzaga University men’s basketball team is a No. 8 seed in the West Region, but they will be traveling all the way to Buffalo, N.Y., to face ninth-seeded Florida State on Friday in the first round of its 12th consecutive NCAA tournament. The Bulldogs won the West Coast Conference regular season, but lost to Saint Mary’s in the WCC Tournament and lost any chance of being able to play in Spokane for the first round. The Washington Huskies are a No. 11 seed in the East Region and will play Marquette in San Jose in the first round/Spokesman-Review.
