Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs are advancing to the Round of 32 in the NCAA Tournament after defeating the Georgia State Panthers in Portland on Thursday afternoon. Host Andy Patton recaps Gonzaga's embarrassing first half, while praising the performances of stars Drew Timme (32 and 13) and Chet Holmgren (19 and 17 with seven blocks).

The second segment was a look back at Andy's five keys for the game, including tempo, three point shooting, avoiding turnovers, a dominant performance from Chet, and bench production.

And finally, Andy talks about the first game of the day, between Memphis and Boise State, a game in which Penny Hardaway's Tigers won and advanced - where they will face Gonzaga on Saturday. What are the keys to that matchup?

1. Gonzaga Bulldogs vs. 16. Georgia State Panthers: Preview, Predictions, Things to Watch Mar 16, 2022

Show notes

Gonzaga is set to take on Georgia State on Thursday. Georgia State is one of the most dangerous 16 seeds in recent memory, and today's episode is a deep dive into what makes the Panthers out of the Sun Belt conference so dangerous, as well as what makes them beatable.

The second segment is a look at Andy's five keys to the game on Thursday, including a dominant game from Chet Holmgren, taking care of the basketball by the guards, getting out in transition as often as possible, and good performances from the bench mob including Anton Watson and Hunter Sallis.

Finally, the third segment is a preview of the 8-9 matchup between the Boise State Broncos and the Memphis Tigers, a very interesting matchup between two very contrasting teams coached by Leon Rice and Penny Hardaway. Will Rice and the Broncos manage to slow down Penny and his team, led by lottery pick Jalen Duren? Or will Memphis' athleticism win out and result in a challenging matchup for Gonzaga in the Round of 32?

All this and more!

Portland coach Shantay Legans talks about coaching against Gonzaga and the strength of the WCC Mar 15, 2022

Show notes

Gonzaga is set to take on Georgia State in the first round of the 2022 NCAA Tournament on Thursday in Portland. Speaking of Portland, I am joined in today's episode by Portland Pilots head coach Shantay Legans. Shantay discusses his first season on the bluff, which resulted in a 7-7 record in conference play and an All-Conference second team performer in Tyler Robertson.

Then, in the second segment, coach Legans talks about his time at Eastern Washington, what it was like being in Gonzaga's shadow, and his experience going up against them this year in Spokane. Legans called Gonzaga the best team in the country and believes this is the year for the Zags!

And finally, Legans discusses the WCC as a whole, including his impression of San Francisco and Saint Mary's and his belief that Santa Clara - who he called the second best offense they faced this year - should still be playing in the NCAA Tournament.

A jam-packed, fun episode for Gonzaga fans, Portland fans, and fans of the WCC!

Talkin' Gonzaga, Chet Holmgren, Bubble Madness, and the WCC with Tristan Freeman Mar 11, 2022

Show notes

Gonzaga has nearly two weeks off while we await the results of Selection Sunday and the start of NCAA Tournament, so Tristan Freeman of Busting Brackets joins the show. Andy and Tristan discuss his love for Gonzaga - even as a Pittsburgh native - and his thoughts on this year's team compared to last year's and the emergence of Chet Holmgren.

Then, in the second segment, Andy and Tristan discuss the upcoming tournament and which high level teams Gonzaga would match up well against (Villanova, Purdue) and which teams might present more of a challenge (Auburn, Duke). The guys also touch on the bubble madness currently taking place, and what it could mean for San Francisco and BYU.

And finally, Patton and Freeman discuss the WCC at-large, touching on what the conference can do to sustain this run of success by utilizing the transfer portal and keeping their current coaches, while embracing the role mid-majors play in the college basketball landscape.

A jam-packed, fun episode for Gonzaga fans!

What Drew Timme's latest NIL deal could mean for his future with the Gonzaga Bulldogs Mar 10, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs have a long gap before their next game, so in today's episode we take a look at some recruiting updates, including the de-commitment of Skyy Clark from Kentucky (could he be the next Nolan Hickman?) as well as an update on priority recruit Anthony Black and 2023 target Dusty Stromer, as well as a graduate transfer the Zags have expressed interest in.

We also talk about Drew Timme's latest NIL deal and what it could mean for his future at Gonzaga.

The second segment is dedicated to the NCAA Tournament bubble after losses by Wake Forest and Xavier have opened the door, ever so slightly, for BYU to sneak back into the conversation.

Finally, the Gonzaga Baseball team is 10-2 after sweeping Cal-State Fullerton and Oklahoma State, so they get plenty of love in the final segment.

Backcourt dominates as Gonzaga Bulldogs secure WCC Championship with win over Saint Mary's Mar 09, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs are WCC Champions once again, defeating the Saint Mary's Gaels by a score of 82-69 despite an off-shooting night from Chet Holmgren and low production from Drew Timme, as the pair had just 18 points combined. Andrew Nembhard had 19 on his way to the Most Outstanding Player award, while Julian Strawther added 16 and Rasir Bolton had 18.

The Zags likely locked up the overall No. 1 seed with this victory, meaning they should play in Portland in the first two rounds. Who will be the No. 2 seed in their region? What does this mean for Arizona? How about Saint Mary's?

Finally, Andy discusses the Lady Zags who punched their ticket to the big dance with a WCC Championship victory over BYU. Locked on Zags - Part of the Locked on Podcast Network.

Gonzaga Bulldogs advance to WCC championship despite sloppy second half against San Francisco Mar 08, 2022

Show notes

Host Andy Patton recaps the Gonzaga Bulldogs' win over the San Francisco Dons on Monday night. Chet Holmgren, Drew Timme, and Anton Watson each had huge nights against a short-handed USF team, while Andrew Nembhard nearly recorded a double-double as the Zags advanced to their 25th consecutive WCC championship game.

However, Gonzaga's play in the final five minutes was uninspiring and, frankly, cause for concern - which is what Patton discussed in the second segment. Will the Zags respond well to full-court press in the NCAA Tournament? Why was Mark Few unwilling to put the pedal to the medal against Todd Golden's squad?

Finally, Andy reviews the other WCC semifinal game between Saint Mary's and Santa Clara, and previews the upcoming rematch between the Zags and the Gaels slated for Tuesday evening.

Will Brian Michaelson and Roger Powell be poached this offseason, like Tommy Lloyd was at Arizona?
Three things we hope to see the Zags improve on this week, including turnovers, three point shooting from Andrew Nembhard, and bench production.
Which non top-4 seeded team could make a team run in the big dance?
