Gonzaga’s 2022-2023 non-conference schedule

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs continue to put together one of the toughest non-conference schedules every single year, and the 22-23 season is no different.

The WCC dropping down to 16 conference games, along with Gonzaga’s willingness to schedule home-and-home or multi-year neutral site matchups with some of the NCAA’s top tier programs has created a schedule to look forward to year in and year out.

The 22-23 schedule is now officially finalized, with a healthy mixture of elite tier programs (like Kentucky and Baylor) some programs a step below like Washington, and some bottom feeders to help fill everything out, like Eastern Oregon and Chicago State.

Here is a look at the complete schedule, with the dates, location, and opponent up to date as of 10/4/22.

  1. Hi Andy, I was hoping the “powers” would schedule a game at Footprint Center (Phoenix] as they have in the past? Any reason that you know of as to why they didn’t continue that event? We sure enjoyed going to the games there the past few years. Thanks for your efforts! Nick Nash [class of 1973] nicknash500@gmail.com

    1. hi Nick – I don’t know any reason specifically, but I assume the schedules of opposing teams just didn’t line up with the event calendar for the arena. Hopefully they will bring it back in future seasons!
