Gonzaga's late tipoff set for Players Era Festival opener vs. Kansas State

The Gonzaga Bulldogs will begin their participation in the inaugural Players Era Festival with a late-night matchup against Kansas State. The game is slated for November 24th, serving as the eighth and final contest of the opening day at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

This late tipoff means the Bulldogs' debut in the Thanksgiving week tournament, which features 16 programs primarily from the Pac-12 conference, will be one of the last events fans can tune into on the first day of action.

The full slate of games for the tournament is still being finalized, but Gonzaga's presence alongside other notable programs promises a competitive early-season showcase for college basketball.
