Pregame

Gonzaga (5-0) will look to assert itself as one of the best teams in the country in a top-15 nonconference matchup against No. 8 Alabama (3-1).

Although it’s a neutral site game, Gonzaga should be represented well at the Players Era Festival in Las Vegas.

The Zags last played a week ago, dismantling Southern Utah in the Kennel.

Labaran Philon Jr. and the Crimson Tide will post a greater threat. Gonzaga’s defense will be tested against Alabama’s lead guard who is averaging 20.5 points and 5.8 assists per game.
