The Pac-12 conference snagged Boise State, San Diego State, Fresno State, and Colorado State from the Mountain West, giving them six teams starting in July of 2026.

The Big 12 and the Huskies have hit the brakes on their discussions about UConn joining the conference, echoing last year's stalled talks with the Gonzaga Bulldogs.

Mark Few was the lone college basketball coach on the sideline for Team USA's Gold Medal performance in Paris in 2024, could he be the head man for Olympic men's basketball in Los Angeles in 2028?

Steele Venters suffered a left Achilles injury and will miss the 2024-25 college basketball season, his second straight season without playing a game for the Gonzaga Bulldogs. Mark Few's team has the depth to shoulder his absence, but the Eastern Washington transfer and former Big Sky Player of the Year would have provided outside shooting and depth on the wing for the Zags, and now has to endure another full year of rehab after an ACL injury caused him to miss last year as well.

The transfer portal is college basketball's boogeyman, with many reports indicating 40% of players who enter the portal are still uncommitted - a fact that is incredibly misleading and posted by folks trying to turn fans against player autonomy. Take the Gonzaga Bulldogs for example: 3 players entered the portal and only one of them transferred to a new D1 school: Pavle Stosic, who ended up at Utah State. But Luka Krajnovic returned home to Croatia and Colby Brooks was a walk-on who graduated.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs added a home-and-home series with Bobby Hurley and the Arizona State Sun Devils, with the first game set for November 10 in Spokane at The Kennel. Hurley and ASU are entering the Big 12 this season, and have been a roughly .500 team the last ten years, making the NCAA Tournament three times all as an 11-seed. Few and the Zags want to ensure at least one victory over a Hurley this season, and ASU is a decent program that gives the Zags an early test.

Team USA for 3x3 men's basketball was eliminated early in the 2024 Olympic Games, spurning a lot of questions about why USA Basketball doesn't add NBA or college stars to the roster. FIBA rules make that much more challenging, and we explain why and discuss what a Gonzaga Bulldogs 3x3 lineup of Chet Holmgren, Corey Kispert, and Jalen Suggs would look like and why they would wipe the floor with the field and take home the gold. Could a team of current Zags also medal?
