Mark Few Achieves 750th Win as Gonzaga Dominates North Florida 109-58

UPDATE: Gonzaga head coach Mark Few has just reached a monumental milestone, achieving his 750th career victory in a commanding win over North Florida, 109-58, on Sunday night in Spokane, Washington. This victory makes Few the second-fastest coach to reach 750 wins, accomplishing the feat in just 904 games, trailing only the legendary Adolph Rupp.

The Bulldogs showcased their dominance from the start, with Braden Huff leading the team with 24 points. Gonzaga (9-1) displayed no signs of slowing down after their impressive victory over No. 18 Kentucky just days prior. Despite their scoring leader, Graham Ike, sidelined due to an ankle injury, the team shot an impressive 61% from the field while holding North Florida to just 33%.

Gonzaga wasted no time establishing control, beginning the game with a strong offense. After leading 31-22 midway through the first half, the Bulldogs ignited a stunning 20-0 run that left North Florida scoreless for over six minutes. This offensive surge led to a commanding 51-22 lead at halftime.

In the second half, Gonzaga continued to dominate, opening with another 10-0 run to push their lead to 63-28. The Bulldogs also excelled on the boards, out-rebounding the Ospreys 48-25.

“Reaching 750 wins is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our players and staff,” Few stated after the game. “I’m grateful for the support from the Gonzaga community.”

North Florida struggled throughout the game, with only two players, Trey Cady and Kent Jackson, scoring in double figures at 14 and 11 points, respectively. The Ospreys fell to 2-7 this season, and their performance highlighted their ongoing challenges.

Looking ahead, Gonzaga will take a break before facing off against UCLA on Saturday, a matchup that promises to be a thrilling test for the Bulldogs as they continue to build momentum this season.

This victory not only marks a significant achievement for Few but also reinforces Gonzaga’s status as a powerhouse in college basketball. Their impressive performance is drawing attention as they aim for another successful NCAA Tournament appearance.
