Although the Gonzaga Bulldogs didn’t get the ending they wanted or envisioned, they have some things to look forward to that will ensure they return to the top. Most importantly, Drew Timme, Julian Strawther, and Rasir Bolton have returned to Spokane. Gonzaga was also lucky enough to get two-star players from the transfer portal, Efton Reid (LSU) and Malachi Smith (Tennessee-Chattanooga).
Like last season, the Gonzaga Bulldogs will be in heavy matchups with Power Five teams. This season includes Kentucky, Baylor, and Alabama. The Bulldogs will need to have their game together to beat teams like these.
Fans can only hope this series of games will prepare the Gonzaga Bulldogs for the NCAA tourney this Spring.
The Bulldogs have six other non-conference games. So, there are 12 games before the West Coast Conference season starts.
Last spring, the Gonzaga Bulldogs had some areas of concern when it got to March Madness. Ball handling and free throws.
They missed free throws that could have won an important game last season. Poor ball handling got them tossed from the NCAA tournament by Arkansas at Sweet Sixteen.
I’m sure coach Mark Few will do all he can to rectify these problems before the season starts.
Let’s hope Coach Mark Few rectified these problems before the season starts.
