Almost a generation ago, the Gonzaga Bulldogs roared into the consciousness of college basketball, winning the school’s first games in the NCAA tournament in 1999. Eighteen years later, they haven’t stopped, going to the big dance every season and stringing together an eight-year run of victories in it.
A few years after the men’s program took off, the GU women joined in -- with the help of fans who couldn’t get tickets to the men’s games. A surge to the national top 15 in attendance accompanied their surge to prominence.
“Glory Hounds” is the story of how it all came together at Gonzaga for both men and women, how it changed the school, and how -- in a turbulent time of here-and-gone players in college basketball -- it continues.
