Is Gonzaga to the Big 12 inevitable? | Zags brand recognition at all-time high | Zags in the NBA Mar 21, 2023

Show notes

Tons of people witnessed the Gonzaga Bulldogs beat Big 12 conference opponent TCU on Sunday, while multiple commercials also had Gonzaga's brand at the forefront, with Chet Holmgren and Adam Morrison making cameos.

We discuss the latest rumors on Gonzaga and the Big 12, with one reporter calling the move 'inevitable', as well as how Gonzaga's brand recognition has improved so much over the past half decade and how critical that is for potential conference realignment..

Finally, we close out the show discussing Domantas Sabonis and Zach Collins, two NBA Zags having career years for Sacramento and San Antonio, respectively.

Gonzaga Bulldogs beat TCU, make Sweet 16 for eighth straight year behind Drew Timme's 28 points Mar 20, 2023

Show notes

Drew Timme led the Gonzaga Bulldogs to their eighth straight Sweet 16 appearance with an 84-81 win over TCU on Sunday. Timme had 28 points for the Zags, who withstood a herculean effort from Mike Miles Jr. and a poor shooting night from many of the guards to advance.

We discuss the rarity of a streak this long for making the Sweet 16, how hard it is to make a Final 4, Timme's postgame comments, and then get into a preview of UCLA. UCLA advanced to the Sweet 16 with wins over UNC-Asheville and Northwestern, doing so without Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year Jaylen Clark.

Finally, we close out the show discussing the Lady Zags who lost to Ole Miss in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Lisa Fortier's team will return nearly everyone from this past season, but will the WCC be good enough to help them earn a higher seed?

Grand Canyon's path to the NCAA Tournament | Stopping Drew Timme key for an upset | Can Arizona State upset TCU? Mar 17, 2023

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs are set to take on Grand Canyon, who won the WAC automatic bid despite finishing fifth in the regular season. They went off in Las Vegas, with Bryce Drew's team coming from behind in three tournament games thanks to their hot shooting - 38% from deep as a team.

Kyle Harrison of the WAC Hoops Digest joins to discuss Grand Canyon's path to the NCAA Tournament, and how they will attempt to defend Drew Timme and what the recipe is for them to potentially pull off a stunning upset in March Madness.

Then, we look at conference realignment and whether Grand Canyon and Gonzaga could someday be conference partners in the WCC. We also discuss if SeattleU is a realistic candidate for the WCC, and why Kyle thinks another school from the WAC could be the actual addition for Stu Jackson and the West Coast Conference.

Closing out the show with discussion about Arizona State's big win over Nevada and whether they could parlay that momentum into an upset win over TCU and a date with the Bulldogs in the Round of 32.

How the Gonzaga Bulldogs can avoid first round upset to Grand Canyon | Kaylynne Truong is an All-American Mar 16, 2023

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs have not lost in the first round of the NCAA Tournament since 2008, but a date with a very good shooting Grand Canyon team has the recipe for an upset written all over it.

The Lopes, coached by Bryce Drew, didn't have a great regular season - going 24-11 and only beating one NCAA Tournament team in Montana State. But they got hot in Las Vegas and won the WAC Championship, and with a 38.3% mark from deep as a team and a star in Ray Harrison they are a dangerous 14 seed for Mark Few's team to take on.

Today we look at five keys for the Zags to secure a victory, including pounding the ball to Drew Timme, pressuring GCU's guards, and defending that precious perimeter.

We close out the show discussing the Lady Zags and their 8-9 matchup against Ole Miss at Stanford. Kaylynne Truong and her outside shooting will be a key for a Bulldogs victory - and we also celebrate her being named an All-American Honorable Mention.

Why Gonzaga will win the National Championship | Why they won't | Drew Timme was snubbed Mar 15, 2023

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs are the highest scoring offensive team in the country, while also boasting the second best field goal percentage, 11th best three point percentage, and 12th best assists per game mark. All that points to Mark Few's team being serious contenders to make a surprise run to the Final 4 and perhaps winning their first National Championship.

Of course, this team also struggles to protect the rim, in pick and roll defensive situations, and even guarding the three point line. No team has won a championship with a KenPom adjD number higher than 22, and Gonzaga's is currently 76. Will that be an issue for the Bulldogs in March?

We close out the show discussing Drew Timme being named an All-American second teamer, for the third year in a row. With a career-high in points, rebounds, and assists, and Gonzaga's toughest schedule yet, should Timme have received first team nod over Marcus Sasser or Jalen Wilson?

Could we get a Gonzaga-Saint Mary's rematch? | Previewing West region | Will Malachi Smith be back? Mar 14, 2023

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs and Saint Mary's Gaels are both in the west region, although a matchup between the two is unlikely barring a big upset by the Gaels over Kansas, or perhaps a gift from Arkansas in an early win over the Jayhawks.

Today is a delayed mailbag episode and we discuss who the biggest key for a deep Zags run in March is, Malachi Smith's status for next year, the epicness of Las Vegas as a college basketball conference tournament destination, which team in the west could pull off a major upset, if Marquette deserved a two seed, and whether auto-bid winners should have to participate in the play-in games or not.

We close out the show discussing Saint Mary's with Zack Farmer of the unofficial WCC hoops podcast, including if a rematch is plausible, their draw against VCU, and having to travel across the country to Albany.
