Counting down the days until November 4th when the Baylor Bears head to the Spokane Arena for the season opener.
But Gonzaga doesn’t play anyone. Take a look at the 2024-2025 full schedule and tell me that with a straight face.
Ben Gregg and the Zags will open up the season with an exhibition against his dad’s Warner Pacific. Matt Gregg is the athletic director for the university. The Knights are based in Portland, Oregon and compete in NAIA. Still no word on the exact date and time for the USC charity exhibition in Palm Springs as details are still being worked out.
The 2024-25 Schedule is Out.

Baylor, San Diego State, Long Beach State, Kentucky, UConn, and Saint Mary’s all made the NCAA Tournament last season. Battle 4 Atlantis is one of the top holiday tournaments next season. The West Coast Conference has four teams with enough talent to make the NCAA Tournament in the Zags, Saint Mary’s, USF and Santa Clara. Can’t forget about the two former Pac-12 members in Arizona State and UCLA.
This looks to be the toughest slate that Mark Few has ever put together and he’s had so many fantastic schedules throughout his illustrious career. He knows his teams have the talent to win a national championship year in and year out. Few wants to test the full potential of this upcoming season’s squad.
What are your record predictions? Just want it to be November 4th for Gonzaga’s season opener against Baylor already.
