The West Coast Conference just unveiled its 2026-27 men’s basketball schedule — and it’s bigger, bolder, and more flexible than ever. With Denver officially joining this season to make it 10 teams, and UC San Diego & UC Santa Barbara set to join in 2027-28, the league is expanding fast. Portland gets a unique slate, playing every team twice except Santa Clara and Seattle U (one game each), while the conference opens up game days to five nights a week for TV partners. The championship returns to Vegas March 5-9, 2027. For Portland, six key returners — including the Gonzaga-beating crew — team up with nine new recruits under Coach Shantay Legans for what promises to be a thrilling season.

Portland pulled off a jaw-dropping upset, beating top-ten Gonzaga 87-80 to snap their 15-game winning streak and end a 20-game losing skid dating back to 2014. Joel Foxwell dropped 27 points, and James O’Donnell sealed the win with a dunk with 23 seconds left after Gonzaga clawed back to within four. Down 21.5 points as underdogs, Portland’s gritty, composed performance stunned the basketball world — proving anything can happen on any given night.

Gonzaga’s hot streak hit a snag as they suffered a shocking 22.5-point favorite loss to Portland, who stormed back to snap a three-game skid with a blistering 60% shooting night led by Joel Foxwell’s 27-point explosion. Coach Mark Few didn’t sugarcoat it—his team was outplayed, outshot, and outmatched, especially on the boards and in defending Portland’s bigs. Despite the setback, Gonzaga remains a top NCAA tournament seed and gears up for a crucial rematch against Oregon State this Saturday.
