This was first reported by Alex Rosinski back in July, but now Southern Utah has made it certified after posting its full 2025-26 non-conference slate. Gonzaga will host the Thunderbirds in the Kennel on November 17th.<\/p>\n
In the Western Athletic Conference last season, coach Rob Jeter\u2019s group finished second-to-last in the conference standings with a 4-12 record in conference play, 12-19 overall. Southern Utah will be making a return to the Big Sky Conference starting in the 2026-27 school year.<\/p>\n
In other scheduling news, the second meeting between Gonzaga-Baylor in their three-game series has been pushed back at least one season. This opens up one more slot for Gonzaga\u2019s 2025-26 non-conference schedule, most likely another buy game opportunity in the McCarthey Athletic Center.<\/p>\n
