The top-ranked Gonzaga Bulldogs begin their march to the national championship with a home opener against the Dixie State Trailblazers (soon to be Utah Tech University) on Tuesday, at 6:00 pm, to open college basketball.

This is the second time the Zags have met up against Dixie State, who is in their second season in D1 sports as part of the Western Athletic Conference.

Meet the opponent

Dixie State, 0-0, KenPom #328

Thanks to the NCAA’s extra year of eligibility, a majority of last season’s Dixie State roster returned, so extrapolating on their KenPom stats to start the season is roughly correct.
