Over a year ago Dominick Harris watched from the Gonzaga Bulldogs ‘ bench as Loyola Marymount pulled off an unthinkable upset at the McCarthey Athletic Center.
The Lions snapped the Bulldogs’ 75-game home winning streak, which was the eighth-longest in Division-I history, in a 75-74 final that left the 6,000 fans in attendance in utter shock, as Michael Graham tipped Drew Timme’s shot attempt in the final seconds to seal LMU’s first win in Spokane since 1991.
The Bulldogs rebounded from that letdown by winning 15 of their next 16 games to earn yet another trip to the Elite Eight. Harris, a former four-star recruit and member of the self-dubbed “Tricky Trio” with Julian Strawther and Jalen Suggs, played a total of 59 minutes in 13 appearances during his redshirt sophomore season. The 6-foot-3 guard struggled to find time on the floor with the Bulldogs, especially after an injury kept him out of the 2021-22 season, before he transferred to LMU last May and after Gonzaga acquired Ryan Nembhard from Creighton.
