The Gonzaga Bulldogs take on the Eastern Oregon Mountaineers to close out the non-conference slate (sort of). After tomorrow’s game, the Zags will embark on a journey of WCC games, before closing out the regular season against Chicago State on March 1.
Eastern Oregon, playing out of the NAIA Cascade Conference, are 7-4 on the season.
Meet the opponent
The Mountaineers are led by starting guard Phillip Malatare, who averages 17.2 points per game. He is joined by three-point threats Emmit Taylor III, a 6’4 senior who is shooting 40.8 percent from long range, and Adam Orr, a 6’4 fifth-year senior shooting 45 percent from afar.
