What you need to know about San Francisco
San Francisco put the finishing touches on its ninth blowout victory of the season on Saturday. It blew past the Pepperdine Waves 92-68.

The team also got some help courtesy of Mike Sharavjamts, who scored 12 points to go along with three rebounds and three assists.
San Fran is one of the best defensive teams in the nation, ranking 12th in the country in defensive rating. It is also extremely efficient on the other end of the court, ranking fifth in the nation with 49.7% on its field goal attempts. However, the Dons aren’t proficient at getting to the charity stripe as their 14.6 free throw attempts per game rank 356th out of 362 Division I teams. See which team to pick here.
What you need to know about Gonzaga
Meanwhile, Gonzaga entered its tilt with the Santa Clara Broncos with five consecutive wins, but it’ll enter its next game with six. The Bulldogs walked away with a 94-81 victory over the Broncos on Saturday. Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Gonzaga to victory, but perhaps none more so than Graham Ike, who scored 26 points to go along with seven rebounds. Another player making a difference was Nolan Hickman, who scored 20 points to go along with five assists.
With a 22-6 record, the Zags are already tied for their most losses in a season since 2016-17. They were ranked as high as No. 7 in the Top 25 poll but uncharacteristically find themselves unranked heading into March. The offense is still elite, ranking fifth in the country in points per game and third in offensive rating, but the team just hasn’t been able to keep its momentum after outright victories. Gonzaga is just 7-13 ATS after a win, and even though it has won six consecutive games straight-up, the Zags enter tonight’s matchup with three straight ATS losses. See which team to pick here.

A run of late-summer performances brings Lettuce to SFJAZZ, where the Boston-born sextet continues touring its latest album Cook inside Miner Auditorium. Known for expanding from Berklee students into a tightly synchronized funk collective, the band threads together psychedelic grooves, brass-led arrangements, and extended improvisational passages that often stretch their sets into long-form explorations rather than fixed song cycles. Each performance draws on decades of collaboration and individual side work across jazz, pop, and hip-hop, giving the music a layered, studio-to-stage fluidity that rarely settles into repetition. The SFJAZZ setting frames that approach with concert-hall clarity, allowing rhythm sections and horn interplay to unfold with precision even at peak intensity. Across the run, the focus stays on sustained groove and ensemble chemistry, where variation emerges gradually through solos and shifting textures rather than abrupt changes in direction.
A man was being sought as the suspect in a double shooting in Bay Point that left one person dead and another injured early Friday morning.
The Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office said deputies were dispatched at about 1:30 a.m. to an unknown problem on Olivia Lane, just east of Alves Lane and south of Delta de Anza Regional Trail, which later was reported to be “shots fired.”

A second person was taken to the hospital; the victim’s condition was not disclosed. The victim who died has not yet been identified.
Sheriff’s detectives identified the suspect as 35-year-old Avery Alexander Gibbs, described by the Sheriff’s Office as a transient. Gibbs was still at large as of Friday afternoon

Golden Gate Bridge fireworks will be a rare patriotic event
This year on July 4th, for the third time in history, an organized fireworks display will be held at San Francisco’s iconic Golden Gate Bridge. This only happned in twice before in 1987 and 2012 for the bridge’s 50th and 75th annivesary. Expect crowds to be massive and public transportation, ride shares and simply walking is highly recommended.
SAN FRANCISCO – San Francisco is preparing for its major July 4th fireworks display on Saturday night, an event expected to draw massive crowds as pyrotechnics are launched directly from the Golden Gate Bridge for only the third time in history.
Will crowds flood Marina?
What we don’t know:
To pull off the event, the Golden Gate Bridge, major roadways, and key parking lots at Marina Green and Crissy Field will be shut down.
Several neighborhood streets will also be blocked off, creating significant traffic hurdles. Officials are strongly advising spectators to utilize public transit due to severely limited parking.
Local residents in the Marina District have expressed concern over the impending chaos as crowds flood the neighborhood.
“I’m a little worried, yeah,” said nearby resident Michael Zoboski. “I think it’s gonna be definitely hectic. I don’t know where people are going to park, it seems like it’s taking up a large amount of the streets up here. I think it’s going to be a little crazy.”
To manage the influx, access to many surrounding neighborhoods will be strictly limited to local residents.
Checking IDs
What we know:
Law enforcement officers will be checking IDs and questioning drivers to verify residency. According to the district supervisor, there will be 10 police officers deployed per block in the Marina.
Road closures will stretch from Baker Street to Van Ness Avenue between 8 p.m. and 11 p.m.
Portions of Fisherman’s Wharf are scheduled to shut down even earlier, starting at 1 p.m. Saturday afternoon, with much of that neighborhood also restricted to local access. The Golden Gate Bridge itself will close to traffic starting at 9 p.m.
Additionally, roads will be closed in the Presidio and Richmond District. To encourage the use of public transportation, Muni is providing special shuttles to help transport spectators to the viewing areas.
