The Gonzaga Bulldogs will take on first-year coach Casey Alexander (previously with the Belmont Bruins) and the Kansas State Wildcats in the opening round of the Players Era 16 in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Nov. 24.
The Zags are 1-2 against the Wildcats in their all-time history. Last season, Kansas State finished with a 12-20 overall record and placed second-to-last in the Big 12 Conference standings with a 3-15 conference record. Previous coach Jerome Tang was fired midway through his fourth season in February.
Gonzaga could then end up matching up with either the Baylor Bears or Alabama Crimson Tide on Nov. 26 and either the reigning champion Michigan Wolverines, Creighton Bluejays, Miami Hurricanes, or TCU Horned Frogs on Nov. 28.
