West Coast Conference releases 2017-18 schedule

The West Coast Conference unveiled the 2017-18 men’s basketball schedule on Wednesday, with conference play beginning on Dec. 28, 2017. The Zags will open at home against the Pacific Tigers.

Other key games for the Zags include Saint Mary’s at Gonzaga, which for the first time in recorded history will actually occur when the students are back from winter break. Senior Night for the Zags will not be ruined by BYU this year, with the Zags final home game coming against Pepperdine on Feb. 17. The Bulldogs close out the year in probably the hardest venue possible--at BYU on Feb. 24.
