SPOKANE, Wash. — Gonzaga men’s basketball have agreed to a home and home series against the San Diego State Aztecs beginning in the 2023 season. The Aztecs will be in Spokane on December 29 and the Zags will make their way to San Diego during the 2024-2025 season.
The Aztecs finished last season 32-7 after making a magical run to the NCAA national championship game. SDSU is projected to return four of the top six scorers from last year’s team.
