Machtolf has 623 wins during his tenure at GU, needing just 15 more wins to pass Steve Hertz for the most career wins in program history. Entering the final year of Gonzaga's membership in the WCC, Machtolf has more than double the total career wins of every other active coach in the conference.

The Zags will play 18 home games in Spokane, while competing in a further 34 contests on the road. The season will open with a run of 21 straight away games, with the Zags playing seven road series before their home opener on March 24^th.

The Zags will play teams from eight different conferences, taking on representatives of the Big 10, Big East, Big West, Missouri Valley, Mountain West, SEC and Sun Belt in addition to matchups with the rest of the WCC.

The season begins with the furthest away trip of the season, as the Zags will take on Hawaii in a four game series from February 13^th through 16^th  in Honolulu. This is the first time Gonzaga has played in Hawaii since 2013.
