Gonzaga Bulldogs back to No. 1 in latest AP Poll Jan 18, 2022

Show notes

Host Andy Patton discusses how the Gonzaga Bulldogs came to the be No. 1 ranked team in the AP Poll, over the Auburn Tigers who had 11 more first place votes, but were hurt by two voters who had them outside the top-five.

Andy then touches on three mailbag questions about BYU that did not get answered on Monday. He talks about whether BYU and Gonzaga will keep playing in the non-conference after the Cougars join the Big-12, and whether the Zags will look to bounce to the Mountain West or try to make something work with the Big East.

Then, Patton discusses the return of Jalen Suggs for the Orlando Magic and the upcoming return of Kelly Olynyk for the Pistons, although he could be a trade candidate at the NBA Trade Deadline this year as well.

Show notes

Host Andy Patton recaps the Gonzaga Bulldogs absolutely whalloping the BYU Cougars Thursday night on ESPN. Gonzaga shot just under 70% from the field - the most efficient scoring game of the season.

Andy also recaps the five things he was watching for in this one, including how Gonzaga defended Alex Barcello, how BYU defended Drew Timme (poorly), and if anyone said anything to new Zag villain Caleb Lohner.

Then, Patton previews the Zags Saturday opponent, Santa Clara, and how Jalen Williams, PJ Pipes, and Josip Vrankic could give some teams in the WCC some trouble.

Discussing Chet Holmgren and Gonzaga's 2022 NBA draft prospects with Rafael Barlowe Jan 06, 2022

Show notes

Host Andy Patton is joined by Rafael Barlowe, the creator of nbadraftjunkies.com and the host of the Locked on NBA Draft podcast. Andy and Rafael discuss the 2022 NBA Draft class at large, before diving deep into Gonzaga's Chet Holmgren in the first segment.

Then, in the second segment, Andy and Rafael discuss Gonzaga's two other blue chip freshmen, Nolan Hickman and Hunter Sallis. Rafael discusses the odds of Hickman leaving after this season, and what he'd like to see him do more (and less) of this season. He also discusses his long history of following Sallis' career, and what he needs to do to maximize his NBA draft potential.

And finally, Patton and Barlowe discuss a pair of veterans, Drew Timme and Andrew Nembhard in the final segment. Is Drew Timme going to leave after this year? Should he take more threes against Mark Few's wishes this season? A jam-packed, fun episode for Gonzaga fans and NBA draft junkies!
