Mark Few's Gonzaga teams have put up incredible offensive numbers over the years.
The Bulldogs have ranked in the top five for offensive efficiency on KenPom every season since 2018-19 and have been near the top of the country in scoring and field goal percentage. The 2023-24 squad hasn't quite reached the same level of efficiency for most of the season, but that all changed when Ben Gregg entered the starting lineup.
Based on their recent run in West Coast Conference play, the Bulldogs have reached an unparalleled level of efficiency since Gregg was inserted into the starting lineup on Jan. 18 at Pepperdine. Since then, Gonzaga has won 11 of 12 games - with its lone loss a two-point heartbreaker to Saint Mary's - and is averaging 88.5 points on 54.3% shooting from the field.
Gonzaga’s offensive efficiency in WCC play is currently 126.6

That doesn’t just lead the conference. It leads all conferences.
In fact, it leads all conferences ALL TIME.
Gonzaga currently boasts the most efficient conference-only offense in KenPom history (since 1999).
The Zags still need to make some adjustments defensively, but they are peaking at the right time on offense heading into two pivotal matchups at San Francisco and Saint Mary's to close WCC play.
Former Gonzaga All-American Dan Dickau broke down the Bulldogs' recent tear on offense and much more on a new Gonzaga Nation episode. You can watch the full episode in the video above.
"Since the loss to Saint Mary's, Gonzaga has clearly been the most efficient team in the country offensively," said Dickau.
