Updated: Sep 10, 5:00pm UTC

One of the best programs in college basketball over recent years, the Gonzaga Bulldogs have had an unfortunate knack for coming up short when it really matters.

Zaga has won the West Coast Conference in all but one season since 2013, but how has that success translated to the March Madness?

Here's a look at Gonzaga's NCAA Tournament history.

Has Gonzaga Ever Won a National Championship?

No, the Gonzaga Bulldogs have never won an NCAA Basketball National Championship in March Madness, despite making the finals twice since 2017.

Gonzaga March Madness Wins & Best Finishes

Gonzaga's two best March Madness finishes came in the 2017 and 2021 NCAA Tournaments, when they finished as runner-up. Those were also the only two years in which they made the Final Four.

In addition to those two second-place finishes, Gonzaga has made the Elite Eight five times: 1999, 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2021.
