Preseason
In 2013–14, the Gonzaga Bulldogs men's basketball team is in its 34th season as a member of the West Coast Conference. Since 2004, the team has played their home games at the McCarthey Athletic Center, which has a capacity of 6,000. In their previous season, a West Coast Conference Preseason Poll predicted that the Bulldogs would finish atop of the conference. The Zags finished in first place in the West Coast Conference Standings with a 16–0 conference record. The Bulldogs beat Saint Mary's in the West Coast Conference Tournament, and captured their first number one ranking in school history. The team drew its first number one seed in school history in the 2013 NCAA Tournament, where they lost to ninth-seed Wichita State in the third round, 76–70, and finished with a record of 32–3.
During the 2013 off-season, former Zags player Adam Morrison returned to the school, apparently deciding to end an injury-riddled professional career, and was added to Mark Few's staff as a student assistant.
