Gonzaga dominates San Francisco | How LMU beating SMC impacts WCC standings | NBA trade deadline Feb 10, 2023

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs dominated San Francisco on Thursday behind 23 points from Rasir Bolton and an excellent first half from Drew Timme. The big win, coupled with Saint Mary's losing to LMU, means the Zags have a chance to win the WCC Championship if they can defeat the Gaels to close out the season.

First the Zags will take on BYU for the final time as conference foes, and we have five keys to victory including guarding the perimeter and playing more of sophomore guard Hunter Sallis.

The episode closes looking at how the NBA trade deadline impacted the eight pro Zags, including a new starting role for Zach Collins and a mentor for Andrew Nembhard.

Predicting the starting lineup and rotation for the 2023-24 Gonzaga Bulldogs Feb 08, 2023

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs could lose as many as five starters from this year's roster, but could also return as many as four - with only Rasir Bolton guaranteed to leave. That makes it very difficult to predict what Mark Few's team will look like in Spokane next year, but we take our best stab at it here in February.

Will Drew Timme and Julian Strawther return or go to the NBA? Is Anton Watson for sure gone or could he come back? Will Ben Gregg step into a starting lineup? How about Hunter Sallis?

This episode makes predictions about all of that, as well as a few guys who could look to transfer after this season, and what the newcomers (Dusty Stromer, Alex Toohey, and Jung Seok Yeo) will do in year one in The Kennel.

Is Christian Nitu the next Gonzaga superstar from Canada? | Zags a higher seed than Saint Mary's? Feb 07, 2023

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs have interest in Canadian prospect Christian Nitu, a stretch four in the same vein as former Canada Zags Kelly Olynyk and Kyle Wiltjer. With Creighton, TCU, and Illinois in the mix, can Mark Few and the Zags keep the pipeline going with our friends up north?

Andy and Jason also discuss Steve Lavin's latest win on the recruiting trail, and what it means for the WCC going forward.

Then, Andy discusses the latest bracketology from Joe Lunardi, which has the Zags as a four seed in Las Vegas and Saint Mary's as a five seed in Orlando - is that fair? Gonzaga's resume is better in the non-conference, but will it hold up?

Finally, we close the show discussing the Andrew Nembhard-Ja Morant beef and how it led to a scandal for Morant and his family - and how Gonzaga has largely managed to avoid legal issues for their NBA stars.

Aidan Mahaney and Saint Mary's Gaels put away Gonzaga | Why didn't Mark Few play Hunter Sallis more? Feb 06, 2023

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs lost to Saint Mary's on Saturday after blowing a double-digit lead, thanks to Aidan Mahaney's dominance and a questionable decision by Mark Few to not play GU's best perimeter defensive player, Hunter Sallis, in the closing minutes.

Today is also Mailbag Monday where we answer listener submitted questions all episode long. Topics include:

Gonzaga's stagnant offense in the second half
How many of GU's starters will be back next season?
If Drew Timme returns and break records, will they have an asterisk?
Could GU and SMC both get top four seeds in March?

Gonzaga Bulldogs dominate Santa Clara Broncos | How to beat Saint Mary's | Domantas Sabonis: All-Star Feb 03, 2023

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs led wire to wire in a win over the Santa Clara Broncos at the kennel on Thursday, behind 18 points on 8-8 shooting from Anton Watson, as well as 15 points, 11 rebounds, and five assists from Drew Timme. Mark Few's defense was as good as it has been all year long, holding the Broncos to 70 points and limiting Brandin Podziemski to just 14 points on 4-14 shooting.

We preview Gonzaga's matchup on Saturday against Saint Mary's including keys to victory for the Bulldogs like dictating the pace, defending the perimeter, and speeding up freshman guard Aidan Mahaney.

Then, we close out the show discussing Courtney Vandersloot's new home in New York, the women losing to Santa Clara, Domantas Sabonis making his third All-Star game, and Jalen Suggs having his jerseys retired in Minnesota.

Big-12 presidents meeting about Gonzaga | How the Pac-12 blew it | Courtney Vandersloot's new home? Feb 02, 2023

Show notes

The Big-12 conference presidents are meeting Thursday to discuss adding Gonzaga as a basketball-only member, a move that would dramatically change college basketball forever. Mark Few is the primary decision maker, reportedly, and we discuss the value of GU making a move like this and what it would mean for other programs like baseball and soccer - as well as how the Pac-12 bungled this situation.

Next we discuss Gonzaga's women's basketball team, who is dominating the WCC but getting disrespected by the bracketology predictions thanks to the weakness of the conference this year.

Then, we close out the show discussing Courtney Vandersloot, who announced she is moving on from the Chicago Sky and is likely going to land in either New York or Seattle next WNBA season.

Breaking down college basketball's best west coast rivalry: Gonzaga Bulldogs vs. Saint Mary's Gaels Feb 01, 2023

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs and Saint Mary's Gaels will play their 111th matchup in school history, keeping up an epic west coast rivalry. We break down the rivalry and the important figures: Mark Few, Randy Bennett, Adam Morrison, Matthew Dellavedova, Omar Samhan, Jock Landale, Drew Timme, and more.

Next we take a look at Andrew Nembhard who was recently named to the Rising Stars challenge, marking eight of the last ten years a Zag has participated in this event. Proof this program is developing NBA talent as good as anyone in the entire country.

Then, we close out the show discussing two high profile WCC matchups taking place on Thursday: LMU vs. BYU, which is set to start right before Gonzaga and Santa Clara on CBS, as well as Saint Mary's and San Francisco which will go on at the same time as the Gonzaga game on ESPNU.

Was Dusty Stromer snubbed from McDonald's All-American game? | Celebrating Gonzaga stars overseas Jan 31, 2023

Show notes

Future Gonzaga Bulldog Dusty Stromer was not selected to the McDonald's All-American game, and he responded by dropping 22 points against Bronny James' Sierra Canyon squad over the weekend. Was Stromer a McDonald's snub, and is he the newcomer most ready to contribute to Mark Few's team in 2023-24? We discuss that and the potential playing time next year for Jun Seok Yeo.

Then, we close out the show discussing 12 former Zags who are playing professional basketball overseas, including Filip Petrusev, Nigel Williams-Goss, Martynas Arlauskas, and Japanese teammates Johnathan Williams and Jeremy Jones. 40-year-old Ira Brown is still playing in Osaka, and former Zags Geno Crandall and Mathis Monninghoff are teammates in Germany as well.
