Coming into this season, the Gonzaga Bulldogs had their fair share of questions. That is only natural for a squad that is replenishing more than a majority from last year’s Elite Eight team.
Although technically, of the solidified eight-man rotation only four of the faces are brand new, it honestly feels like quite a bit more. Filip Petrusev averaged 6.5 minutes per game once conference play started last season, and Joel Ayayi only appeared in 14 of 22 once the calendars turned to 2019. The Zags returned just 23.4 percent of last year’s minutes.
