As one of the perennial powers from a Mid-Major conference, Gonzaga is traditionally ranked in the top 25 of most of the major preseason polls and this season is no different. <\/p>\n
The Sporting News has the Bulldogs ranked 20th, which is the highest of any team in the West Coast Conference. Rivals has them ranked No. 18 and the ESPN\/USA Today Coaches poll have the Zags ranked 23rd.<\/p>\n
Last season Gonzaga finished the season with an overall record of 25-10 and an 11-3 record in conference play. After knocking-off St. Mary\u2019s 75-63 as a two-point favorite to win the conference tournament it entered the NCAA Tournament as the 11th seed in the Southeast Region. The Bulldogs hammered St. Johns 86-71 in their first game as one-point underdogs. The brief ride came to an end in their next game as they fell to BYU 89-67 as one-point dogs.<\/p>\n
The outlook for this season remains optimistic for a deeper run to the Sweet 16 and possibly beyond with the return of 7-foot-0 senior center Robert Sacre and 6-foot-7 junior forward Elias Harris to anchor the front court and senior guard Marquise Carter and sophomore guard David Stockton manning the back court.<\/p>\n
Sacre was the team\u2019s second-leading scorer last season with an average of 12.5 points a game and its leading rebounder with 6.2 boards a game. Harris averaged 12.4 points and pulled-down six rebounds a game. Carter averaged 19 minutes a game last season and was the fifth-leading scorer with 6.3 points a game. [soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n
Stockton averaged 15 minutes off the bench, but is projected to be the starter heading into this season. Look for freshman guard Gary Bell Jr. and sophomore forward\/center Sam Dower to play a major role this season off the bench.<\/p>\n
Gonzaga kicks the 2011\/2012 season off on Nov.11 against Eastern Washington. Things heat up right away with a Nov. 30 tilt against Notre Dame and a Dec. 17 matchup against No. 16 Arizona. The Bulldogs open conference play on Jan. 5 against Pepperdine and face their first major test for the regular season title with a trip to St. Mary\u2019s on Jan. 12 to take on the Gaels.<\/p>\n
While the sportsbooks have not posted odds for the West Coast Conference, BetOnline has Gonzaga at +3000 to win this season\u2019s national title. The Zags are positioned well to improve upon last year\u2019s 11th seed in the NCAA Tournament and a solid bet to at least make it to the Sweet 16 in this year\u2019s dance.<\/p>\n
