We will have to wait a few more days to see the return of Killian Tillie. The senior Gonzaga Bulldogs forward is sitting out the opening game as he recuperates from knee surgery.
Gonzaga's Killian Tillie (knee) will not play tonight against Alabama State, per Mark Few.

This should not come as too much of a surprise for anyone. Tillie did not play in the exhibition game, and he was considered questionable for tonight’s season opener. Considering that Tillie is the jewel of this squad, and often struggles with staying healthy, it makes sense that the coaching staff isn’t forcing him to play quite yet.
