Rui Hachimura, Josh Perkins, and Johnathan Williams notched First-Team All-WCC honors. Killian Tillie was named to the Second-Team, and Silas Melson was listed as a honorable mention. Norvell was also named to the WCC All-Freshman team. It was the second first-team honor for Williams since transferring to Gonzaga two years ago.
