As perennial powerhouse of the West Coast Conference, the Gonzaga Bulldogs go into the 2008-09 slate with a bulk of their previous season’s squad, a feat which will likely strike fear into not only their in-conference foes, but the premium-caliber schedule of squads which make them a pick for preseason top-10 in numerous publications.
