Locked On Zags - Daily Podcast On Gonzaga Bulldogs Basketball

Latest Episodes:

Why isn't Mark Few playing Hunter Sallis playing more? | Gonzaga's path to a No. 1 seed in March Jan 12, 2023

Show notes

Hunter Sallis played just 17 minutes combined when Gonzaga faced San Francisco and Santa Clara last week, calling into question Mark Few's resistance to playing anyone other than his starting five. Sallis' defensive presence against Khalil Shabazz and Brandin Podziemski could have helped the Bulldogs down the stretch, and Few's insistence on overplaying his starters has hurt this team in March.

The rest of the show is grading listener-submitted hot takes, with discussion about Drew Timme's NPOY candidacy, Dom Harris' future, and Rasir Bolton's role as this team's third (or second) leading scorer.

How John Calipari's future at Kentucky impacts Mark Few and Gonzaga | Keys to victory over BYU Jan 11, 2023

Show notes

John Calipari and the Kentucky Wildcats fell to South Carolina at home, arguably the worst loss in program history and a loss that puts them squarely on the bubble of the NCAA Tournament picture. What does this mean for Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs, who beat Kentucky in what was viewed as a signature win at the time? And what will it mean for the six-game home-and-home series, especially since Calipari's job security is tenuous at best right now.

We also discuss Gonzaga's Thursday opponent, the BYU Cougars, a top 30 defensive team in the country but one who struggles with efficiency on offense. How will that match up shake out against Gonzaga's elite offense and struggling defense?

Why Gonzaga's last two games will help them in March | Which Zag guard should take the final shot? Jan 10, 2023

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs went 2-0 in the Bay against San Francisco and Santa Clara, but both were difficult, grind-it-out victories, with Drew Timme struggling in both contests. However, Rasir Bolton and Nolan Hickman stepped up and helped lead Mark Few's team - a great sign for this team heading into March and the NCAA Tournament.

We also discuss which Zag should take the final shot, what a lineup of WCC guards vs. WCC bigs would look like, Pacific's hot start to the season, and the Lady Zags' biggest challenge in conference play.

Rasir Bolton led Gonzaga Bulldogs to victory over San Francisco Dons despite Drew Timme's struggles Jan 06, 2023

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs needed a last second tip-in from Rasir Bolton (off another Drew Timme miss) to secure a victory over the San Francisco Dons and move to 2-0 in WCC play.

The Zags got killed on the glass, and Timme was an uncharacteristic 3-16 from the field. Fortunately, Bolton and Julian Strawther stepped up for the Bulldogs, alongside Anton Watson who knocked down a pair of threes in the win.

Could GU's struggles against San Francisco show up again on Saturday against Santa Clara? We look at the Broncos who are 14-4 this year and present a dangerous opponent for Mark Few's squad.

Gonzaga Bulldogs vs. San Francisco Dons Game Preview | Looking at Joe Lunardi's latest bracketology Jan 04, 2023

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs head to War Memorial gym in San Francisco to take on a Dons team that is extra motivated after dropping their first two WCC games of the year. Can Chris Gerlufsen's squad replicate the success they had when they destroyed Arizona State by 37 points, or will Mark Few's team helped put the rest the concern Zag fans have playing on the road in SF?

Keys to a Gonzaga victory include containing guards Khalil Shabazz and Tyrell Roberts, avoiding turnovers, and setting the tempo.

We close out the show discussing bracketology for the first time all season long, looking at the latest report from Joe Lunardi and highlighting the good and bad matchups for the Zags, while also looking at the latest predictions on the women's side.

Why French guard Ilane Fibleuil could be the next great international star for the Gonzaga Bulldogs Jan 03, 2023

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs brought French prospect Ilane Fibleuil to campus over the holiday break, where he watched Mark Few's team dismantle Eastern Oregon while sitting with fellow countrymen Killian Tillie. Jason Jordan joins the show to discuss Fibleuil's NBA ready game, and why he has to pick between Gonzaga/UCLA or the G-League.

Andy and Jason also discuss Bronny James' teammate at Sierra Canyon, Isaiah Elohim, who has drawn interest from multiple schools including Gonzaga.

The final portion of the show is handing out awards to the eight Zags in the NBA, including an MVP for Domantas Sabonis and sixth man for Rui Hachimura.

Can Drew Timme win Player of the Year? | Malachi Smith and changing Gonzaga's starting lineup Jan 02, 2023

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs are 1-0 in WCC play after routing Pepperdine at The Kennel on Saturday, behind a monster night from Drew Timme. Is Timme's recent run enough for him to overtake Purdue's Zach Edey as the National Player of the Year frontrunner?

That is one of many questions answered in today's Mailbag Monday, including a look at what a starting lineup would look like if Malachi Smith were included, the playing time situation for Efton Reid and Dom Harris, and Gonzaga's defense and lack of rim protection this season.

We close the show looking at some WCC notes, including how many teams will make the big dance, why San Francisco is already 0-2 in league play, and whether Lisa Fortier and the women's team will go undefeated until March.

Gonzaga breaks records in rout of Eastern Oregon | Do Efton Reid and Dom Harris deserve more run? Dec 29, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs absolutely dominated Eastern Oregon in an exhibition game at The Kennel on Wednesday, with all five starters scoring in double figures along with Efton Reid and Malachi Smith off the bench.

Reid had 16 second half points, compared to Eastern's 14, and his performance was key in establishing growth from Mark Few's bench. Dominick Harris also had a solid all-around game, while walk-on Colby Brooks chipped in seven points in just four minutes.

We preview Gonzaga' first WCC game of the season, coming up on New Year's Eve against a young but very talented Pepperdine team that has a future NBA star in Maxwell Lewis as well as sharpshooting guards Houston Mallette and Mike Mitchell Jr.

Which WCC teams join Gonzaga and Saint Mary's in the 2023 NCAA Tournament? | Will Zags lose again? Dec 28, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs are getting into the West Coast Conference portion of their schedule, so it is time to reevaluate the conference and release our WCC power rankings ahead of conference play. Mark Few and Randy Bennett have had the Zags and Saint Mary's atop the mountain for a while now, but who else could compete for a bid in the NCAA Tournament?

We discuss San Francisco's big win over Arizona State, BYU's recent run of success, and a surprising start to the season for both Santa Clara and LMU. Plus, will Portland bounce back after a good start? Is Pepperdine good enough to make a run with NBA talent? How is Steve Lavin doing at USD?

The Gonzaga Bulldogs are back in the top ten, and they should be there for a while | Previewing EOU Dec 27, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs are back in the top ten of the college basketball AP Poll for the first time since before Thanksgiving, thanks to big wins over Alabama and Montana in recent games. With the WCC slate coming up, the Zags should stay in the top ten for weeks to come, even with tough road games against San Francisco, Santa Clara, and BYU in early January.

Prior to that, Gonzaga will take on NAIA opponent Eastern Oregon, who they beat in an exhibition matchup last year 115-62. What should or will Mark Few do for this game? Will the starters play more than 25 minutes? Will we see more of the Ben Gregg and Efton Reid lineups? What about Dominick Harris and the walk-ons? Is Braden Huff eligible to suit up?
