Huge loss today for the Bulldogs as Gonzaga’s starting center Killian Tillie will reportedly miss about 8 weeks with a fracture in his ankle. Tillie averaged 12.9 PPG 5.9 RPG and 1 BPG last season as the starter, and was expecting a bigger role with Jonathon Williams in the league.
Killie is an interesting NBA prospect at 6’10” hitting 1.3 3PT a game last year at an intriguing .479 clip. ESPN has Gonzaga ranked 3 preseason, and they figure to be major contenders this season.
Some Key Games in that 8 Week Time Frame
- No. 25 Washington 12/5
- No. 6 Tennessee 12/9
- No. 8 UNC 12/15
