​Since 1999, Gonzaga has made the NCAA men’s basketball tournament each season, the third-longest streak behind Kansas and Michigan State. The Bulldogs should qualify again this coming season. Still, their chances to advance deep in the tournament took a hit this week when point guard Mario Saint-Supery signed a contract with Valencia of the EuroLeague.While the number of players leaving Europe to play college basketball has significantly increased recently due to revenue sharing and Name, Image and Likeness, Saint-Supery is the rare overseas player who has departed the college game and headed back home, presumably for more money and financial stability. Saint-Supery’s four-year deal is worth more than $15 million total, according to CBS Sports’ Matt Norlander.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementSaint-Supery, who grew up in Spain and turned 20 in April, averaged 8.6 points, 3.8 assists and 1.3 steals per game as a freshman last season. For most of the season, he was a reserve, but he started the final eight games. He was expected to be the Bulldogs’ full-time starter this season. Saint-Supery this month played for Spain in the FIBA World Cup European qualifiers, averaging 14.5 points and making 57.9% of his shots in two games.With Saint-Supery gone, Gonzaga is thin at point guard. Jack Kayil, a point guard who committed to Gonzaga last November, decided to enter the NBA draft and was a second round pick, so he won’t be playing in college. The Bulldogs could always look to add a player, possibly a veteran who could have a fifth year of eligibility.A judge in Ohio last week granted a preliminary injunction allowing 24 men’s and women’s basketball players a fifth year of eligibility. Those players had filed a lawsuit against the NCAA after the organization announced a new eligibility model that takes effect on Aug. 1. Under that model, players will have five years of eligibility following their high school graduation or starting the school year after they turn 19, whichever occurs first. The NCAA did not intend for the rule to apply to players whose four years of eligibility under the old rules expired last season. However, attorneys have fought the NCAA, arguing the rules should include those players.For now, Gonzaga will not have as much depth as coach Mark Few expected. But the Bulldogs should still be a top 20 team and the favorite in the new Pacific 12 Conference, which debuts this season. The other programs in the new Pac 12 are Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, Oregon State, San Diego State, Texas State, Utah State and Washington State.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementGonzaga returns two major contributors from last season in 6-foot-10 forward Braden Huff and 6-foot-7 guard Davis Fogle. Huff averaged 17.8 points and 5.6 rebounds per game and made 66.2% of his field goals last season, but he only played 18 games after he sustained a season-ending knee injury in practice. When Huff went out, the Bulldogs were 17-1
