Dan Dickau previews the Gonzaga Bulldogs' daunting 2023-24 schedule

From the Maui Invitational to a matchup against Kentucky in February, the Zags' 2023-24 nonconference schedule is loaded

College basketball is less than two months away, and while the official 2023-24 schedule for the Gonzaga Bulldogs hasn't been released, fans are already circling their calendars in anticipation.

After tipping off the season at home against Yale, the Zags head down to Honolulu to compete in a stacked Maui Invitational field from Nov. 20-22. They'll take on Purdue in the first round, before playing either Tennessee or Syracuse the following day. Gonzaga could potentially play either Kansas, UCLA, Marquette or host Chaminade to close out the tournament.

Other notable opponents on the schedule include at Washington (Dec. 9), the Battle for Seattle against defending national champion UConn (Dec. 15), home against the national runner-up San Diego State (Dec. 29) and a trip to Lexington, Kentucky to take on the Wildcats (Feb. 10).

Former Gonzaga All-American Dan Dickau breaks down how the Zags will fare throughout the rigorous nonconference portion of the 2023-24 season, as well as how many regular season games he thinks Gonzaga will win on the latest episode of the Gonzaga Nation podcast.
