SPOKANE - The Gonzaga men's basketball team tipped off its 2023-24 season with an 86-71 victory over Yale on Friday at the McCarthey Athletic Center.

The Bulldogs went into the game without projected starting wing Steele Venters, who tore the ACL in his right knee in practice earlier this week. Freshman Dusty Stromer took Venter's place in the starting lineup. 

Gonzaga donned Nike's custom N7 uniforms in honor of Native American Heritage Month. The turquoise uniforms are symbolic of friendship and fellowship in Native American culture.
