Shocking Upset: No. 6 Gonzaga’s Streak Snapped by Underdog Portland in Stunning Showdown
PORTLAND, Ore. — Sometimes, the most confounding defeats don’t have a single culprit — they just unravel, piece by piece. That’s exactly what happened Wednesday night when sixth-ranked Gonzaga stumbled against Portland, losing 87-80 and snapping a formidable 15-game winning streak. Coach Mark Few couldn’t quite put a finger on one moment that sealed their fate. Instead, it was a night where everything seemed to go askew — from missed shots to defensive breakdowns. The Bulldogs, heavily favored and boasting a history of dominance over the Pilots, found themselves outplayed in virtually every aspect of the game. Portland, fueled by home-court energy and a surge of confidence, seized their chance, capturing a rare and thrilling victory against a top-10 opponent. This unexpected upset leaves Gonzaga reflecting on what went wrong and how they’ll bounce back.
