SPOKANE, Wash. -

The No. 20 Bulldogs are home this week, with games against Portland and San Diego at The Kennel.

The Zags are coming off two big conference wins: a victory over Loyola Marymount and a nice win over Saint Mary's. With an 8-1 conference record, they have to like where they are right now.

"We are such a deep team, you don't know who is going to come out but somebody is always going to come out and just light it up," said guard Katelan Redmon.

"I like the fact that on any given night it could be someone different," said head coach Kelly Graves. "We're not just relying on one or two players every game. We really are getting contribution from a lot of different players – especially from our bench."

Graves specifically praised the play from Stephanie Golden and Keani Albanez.

"They're giving us a lift off the bench, along with Jazmine Redmon. She's a starter who starts on the bench," said Graves.

Gonzaga hosts Portland on Thursday and San Diego on Saturday. The game against the Dons can be live on SWX beginning at 2 p.m.
