Gonzaga Bulldogs kick off their inaugural Pac-12 era with a challenging schedule—can Mark Few’s squad weather early away games and position themselves as conference contenders? Andy Patton breaks down key matchups, including a high-stakes opener at Washington State, marquee clashes against Utah State and San Diego State, and much-anticipated non-conference battles with Purdue, Duke, UCLA, and Michigan State.

The episode explores how Gonzaga’s schedule quirks—including midseason non-conference tilts against Oregon and Duke—could impact momentum and NCAA Tournament prep. Plus, get up-to-date on Zags alumni: Kelly Olynyk eyes a potential move to BC Roma, while Drew Timme fights for a Minnesota Timberwolves roster spot and Ryan Nembhard joins the Denver Nuggets. Don’t miss this comprehensive look at the Bulldogs’ new era, top opponents, and the latest Gonzaga pro updates.
