season opener on September 6 the men's
basketball team is about five weeks before
camp begins. Their first game will happen
on November 21 which is close to the end
of football season.
The Cougars have fifteen players on
the roster. They have three incoming
freshmen and two redshirt freshman
so that is one-third of the roster.
Generally a team will play ten players
during non-conference schedule.
When the conference starts playing
which usually happens in January
the team sometimes go with eight.
The other two players will get in some
playing time. A lot depends whether
players get into foul trouble or not.
The Cougars will have three sophomores,
five juniors and two seniors on the roster
as well. The Cougar have only two players
returning from last year's team. Ten players
left through the transfer portal. The life
of teams in college basketball especially
those who have a losing record. Last year
the Cougars had a record of 12-20 and
places 8th in the final season in the West
Coast Conference. Gonzaga transferred
to the Pac-12 conference after dominating
the West Coast Conference for many years.
The Cougars start the season on November
21 against Duke. Of course a high profile
opponent. Last week it was announced that
Cougars will play Seattle University at Climate
Pledge Arena on December 19. Last year
they played each other twice being part of
the West Coast Conference where each team
win on their home court.
We will be following the Cougars and Gonzaga
men's basketball in a regular basis when the
season begins. This will be the same for the
Washington Huskies and let you know how
Seattle University does too. Go Cougars!
