Gonzaga plays one more tool-up game prior to their Vegas residency over the following three games. The Bulldogs will give their defense an interesting challenge in slowing down and solving the Bellarmine Knights’ pass-over-dribble offense.

Meet the opponent

Bellarmine Knights (0-3), KenPom #185

The Knights are in just their second season of Division I basketball but do not let the lack of history fool you. Despite a season disjointed by COVID protocols and a season they were picked to finish last in the Atlantic Sun Conference, they went 10-3 in the conference and finished second to Liberty.
