Few 2nd fastest to 750 wins; Gonzaga rolls to 9-1
SPOKANE, Wash. — Braden Huff scored 24 points and No. 11 Gonzaga gave coach Mark Few his 750th career victory, routing North Florida 109-58 on Sunday night. Few is the second-fastest to 750, reaching the mark in 904 games.
Few trails only Adolph Rupp, the Kentucky icon who did it in 902 games. Now in his 27th season as Gonzaga’s coach, Few has never missed an NCAA tournament.
Tyon Grant-Foster added 19 points and Davis Fogle had 15 points for Gonzaga (9-1), which showed no sign of a letdown following a dominant win over No. 18 Kentucky on Friday. Scoring leader Graham Ike was nursing an ankle injury and did not play.
Trey Cady scored 14 points and Kent Jackson 11 for North Florida (2-7). But Gonzaga shot 61% while holding the Ospreys to 33% en route to the win. The Bulldogs had a 48-25 rebounding edge.
Gonzaga led 31-22 midway through the first half when Mario Saint-Supery scored seven consecutive points on two 3-pointers and a free throw. That ignited a 20-0 run.
North Florida was scoreless for more than six minutes, missing nine consecutive field goal attempts, as Gonzaga built a 51-22 lead.
Kamrin Oriol broke the drought for the Ospreys with a pair of late 3-pointers. The visitors trailed 53-28 at halftime, after hitting just 33% of their shots and committing 10 turnovers in the opening 20 minutes. Gonzaga shot 64% in the first half.
Gonzaga opened the second half with a 10-0 run for a 63-28 lead. The Bulldogs are now off until Saturday when they take on UCLA in Seattle.

Pakistan women’s football team to make historic debut in Fifa Football Series
For the first time, the Pakistan women’s football team will directly participate in a Fifa event, marking a significant milestone for the country’s sporting history.
The participation comes under the Fifa Football Series — an initiative introduced by Fifa President Gianni Infantino. The Series includes national teams that do not qualify for the Fifa World Cup, which is held every four years.
President of the Pakistan Football Federation (PFF), Mohsin Gilani, expressed his delight at Pakistan’s inclusion in the Women’s Fifa Series.
He described it as a “historic moment” for Pakistan football, noting that while the national team has competed in Fifa qualifying rounds in the past, this will be the first time Pakistan directly takes part in a Fifa event. He said he is deeply grateful to the Fifa President for the opportunity.
Gilani added that the event will inspire young footballers across the country, saying that seeing Pakistan’s flag fly at a Fifa event will be a major achievement for him as PFF President. He said the development has renewed hope for a “bright and promising future” for football in Pakistan, calling it the beginning of greater progress ahead.
Pakistan’s women’s team currently stands at 154 in the Fifa Women’s World Ranking out of 198 teams. For the 2026 Women’s Fifa Series, Fifa has placed Pakistan in the Ivory Coast group, though the match schedule — including opponents and dates — has yet to be announced.
