Gonzaga basketball coach Mark Few is dealing with an unusual amount of roster turnover heading into season.

Few continues to have a ton of success with the Bulldogs, and they have high expectations once again as the No. 8 team in the country in the preseason.

However, the staff will rely on a lot of newcomers this season, and that's a spot that Few isn't used to being in ahead of a new campaign.

“I don’t know if we’ve been in this situation before,” Few said via the Associated Press. “Usually we have a slight majority of experienced guys over newcomers.”

Gonzaga has at least 28 games in each of the past seven seasons, and there's enough talent on the roster for the program to once again have a shot at making it far in March.

The Bulldogs will tip off the season on Nov. 5 against Alabama State.
