Gonzaga Bulldogs, ranked No. 15, will begin their 2026-27 season against the Purdue Boilermakers in Las Vegas, according to a game preview published Thursday.
The matchup renews a rivalry that last saw the teams meet in the Sweet 16 of the 2024 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament in Detroit, where Purdue's Zach Edey and Gonzaga's Graham Ike faced off. The season opener is set for Las Vegas, though the exact date and venue were not specified in the preview.
