Rasir Bolton drops 20 as Gonzaga Bulldogs dominate Pacific Tigers Feb 11, 2022

Show notes

Host Andy Patton recaps the Gonzaga Bulldogs' win over the Pacific Tigers on Thursday night. Rasir Bolton dropped a season-high 20 points, Chet Holmgren was efficient as ever, and Drew Timme had a double-double in another resounding victory for Mark Few's squad.

Andy previews Gonzaga's Saturday opponent, the Saint Mary's Gaels, in the second segment. Randy Bennett's team is ranked No. 22 in the country and is a top 20 team per KenPom, but they recently lost to Santa Clara and need to avoid any more marginal losses if they want to ensure their place in the NCAA Tournament in March.

Finally, Patton discusses the NBA Trade Deadline and which deals impacted our Zags in the NBA. This includes analysis on the Domantas Sabonis trade to the Sacramento Kings, how Washington's flurry of moves impacts Corey Kispert, Rui Hachimura, and Joel Ayayi, as well as a look at Zach Collins' increased role in San Antonio and the news that Kevin Pangos is heading back to Russia for the rest of the season.

Chet Holmgren's career-night propels Gonzaga Bulldogs to victory over San Diego Feb 04, 2022

Show notes

Host Andy Patton recaps the Gonzaga Bulldogs' win over the San Diego Toreros on Thursday night. Gonzaga struggled in the early going, but an excellent game from Chet Holmgren (23 points, 12 rebounds) and stellar play from Andrew Nembhard (11 points, seven assists, one turnover) and Anton Watson (11 points off the bench) helped lead the Zags to a commanding 30 point victory.

Andy also recaps the five things he was watching for in this one, including how Gonzaga will shoot from three (41.7%), how Drew Timme was utilized, and how much we will see of young players like Hunter Sallis and Ben Gregg.

Then, Patton previews Gonzaga's Saturday opponent, the BYU Cougars. BYU is on a disastrous three game losing streak, falling to Santa Clara and Pacific last week and losing at home to the San Francisco Dons by 14 points on Thursday evening. If BYU can't pull off a victory against the Zags, their NCAA Tournament chances may be over.
