I read a very heated debate in August on whether Joel Ayayi or Ryan Woolridge should start and it got kind of personal. It was at that point when I said to myself, “Wow, this offseason is way too long.” Well, good news, folks: the longest offseason in college basketball history is finally over, and the Gonzaga Bulldogs begin their season on Friday with an exhibition game against Lewis-Clark State College.
We have seemingly talked ad nauseam about the roster, the expectations, and who will be the next breakout star. Once Gonzaga beat Michigan State in their closed-door scrimmage, expectations immediately rose, fair or not.
