Gonzaga Bulldogs vs San Francisco Dons Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 02/18/26

The No. 11 Gonzaga Bulldogs (25-2, 13-1 WCC) head to Chase Center on February 18 for a conference matchup against the San Francisco Dons (15-13, 7-8 WCC), laying 14 points in a game with major WCC implications. Gonzaga enters on a 3-game winning streak and continues to operate as one of the most efficient offenses in the country, averaging roughly 87.6 points per game while dominating the glass and sharing the ball at a high level. The Bulldogs are powered by Graham Ike (around 19.8 ppg, 8.7 rpg), whose interior scoring and physicality set the tone, while Braden Huff and Adam Miller provide spacing and secondary scoring. Gonzaga’s rebounding edge and assist/turnover efficiency have allowed it to consistently dictate tempo, and even in tighter games, the Zags have shown they can stretch margins late with depth and transition offense.

San Francisco has been competitive but inconsistent, averaging about 75 points per game while struggling to maintain efficiency from the perimeter. Ryan Beasley (about 13.0 ppg) and Mookie Cook (11.7 ppg, 6.0 rpg) headline the Dons’ offense, but scoring droughts and defensive lapses have hurt them against upper-tier opponents. USF pushed Gonzaga in a narrow 68-66 loss earlier this season, proving they can compete for stretches, yet sustaining that level for 40 minutes remains the challenge. Against a Gonzaga team that controls the paint, rebounds at an elite rate, and can score in waves, San Francisco’s thin margin for error becomes even smaller. If the Bulldogs impose their pace and capitalize on second-chance opportunities, they have the offensive firepower and depth to create separation.
