Will Gonzaga Bulldogs forward Julian Strawther stay another year or depart for the 2023 NBA Draft? Dec 23, 2022

Show notes

Gonzaga Bulldogs forward Julian Strawther will eventually be an NBA player, much like his predecessor Corey Kispert - now with the Washington Wizards. Kispert joined the NBA after a surprise return to Spokane for his senior season, and Strawther looks like he could be on a similar trajectory.

We discuss Strawther's season so far and whether we think he will depart for the NBA or return to potentially be GU's No. 1 option during the 2023-24 season, depending what Drew Timme does this offseason.

We also look at a Christmas wish list for Mark Few and the Zags, including more true home-and-home series, a midseason non-conference game, and health for Gonzaga's stars in the NBA like Chet Holmgren and Zach Collins.

Gonzaga Bulldogs grind out victory over Montana Grizzlies | Should Rasir Bolton and Malachi Smith switch roles? Dec 21, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs secured their record-breaking 72nd consecutive home victory on Tuesday against the Montana Grizzlies, behind 32 points from Drew Timme and a 15 point, 10 rebound double-double from Julian Strawther.

Mark Few's club struggled early, going down 20-10 before a 26-8 run late in the first half. We discuss the frustration of these slow starts this season, and also look at the shooting guard competition between Rasir Bolton, Malachi Smith, and Hunter Sallis.

Sallis is the best defender, while Smith has been the best offensive player - yet Bolton remains the starter. Should that change? Would a change just disrupt Gonzaga's offensive and defensive flow? Is a players statistical performance the only thing to consider when evaluating a lineup change?

Gonzaga Bulldogs vs. Montana Grizzlies Preview | Efton Reid breakout coming? | Lady Zags beat BYU Dec 20, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs are past the gauntlet portion of their non-conference schedule, with a matchup against the Montana Grizzlies at the Kennel in Spokane on the docket for Tuesday.

Montana is a top 200 team per KenPom, with a pair of 6'9 forwards doing most of the damage. Still, this is a game Mark Few and the Zags should win handily, and we explore a few keys we'd love to see in this contest including more transition offense, a breakout game from Efton Reid, more offensive creativity from Hunter Sallis, and the potential to see Dom Harris or the walk-ons getting real minutes.

Finally, we close the show discussing the Lady Zags, who secured a big win over BYU in the WCC opener as they prepare to run through conference play en route to potentially their highest seed in school history.

Behind Drew Timme, Gonzaga's offense erupts in big time victory over the Alabama Crimson Tide Dec 19, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs secured their biggest win of the season on Saturday, dropping 100 points on the No. 4 ranked Alabama Crimson Tide to move to 9-3 on the year while completing their ridiculous stretch of challenging non-conference games.

Mark Few's club was led by Drew Timme, who had 29 points and 10 rebounds, while Anton Watson had 17 and Malach Smith came off the bench to contribute 12 points on 5-6 shooting, along with five steals.

The Zags weathered a 36 point effort from future NBA lottery pick Brandon Miller, thanks in part to winning the turnover battle 21-9 and hitting 4-6 three pointers in the second half.

With Gonzaga's rigorous non-conference slate in the books, we discuss whether playing this many high quality opponents was a good thing or a bad thing for the Bulldogs.

Nate Oats talks Drew Timme | Who does Gonzaga miss more, Chet Holmgren or Andrew Nembhard? Dec 16, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs and Alabama Crimson Tide have a huge matchup slated for Saturday in Birmingham, with Nate Oats and Mark Few each looking to secure the kind of victory that moves a team up a seed line in March.

Andy and Spokesman-Review writer Theo Lawson discuss Gonzaga's matchup with Alabama, including why Julian Strawther and Malachi Smith are extremely key toward this team securing a victory. They also discuss who this team misses more: Chet Holmgren or Andrew Nembhard, and get into if this schedule is good or bad for the Zags.

We close the show talking about the tragic loss of coach Mike Leach, who Theo covered for three seasons while he was coaching Washington State University.

Gonzaga Bulldogs vs. Alabama Crimson Tide: How the Zags can stop Nate Oats and his star freshmen Dec 15, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs and Alabama Crimson Tide meet for the second half of a home and home series that was played first in Seattle at Climate Pledge Arena and now in Birmingham for the return game.

Mark Few and the Zags have a huge opportunity to pick up a win over a top five team, a team that has already defeated the No. 1 ranked team twice this season - the first time a squad has done that since 1965.

We also take a look at specific keys to victory for the Bulldogs, including how Anton Watson defends star freshman Brandon Miller, who wins the turnover battle, and how Gonzaga's secondary scorers (Julian Strawther and Rasir Bolton) respond after lackluster performances earlier in the week (in Strawther's case, due to illness).

We close the show discussing Fardaws Aimaq's sudden decision to enter the transfer portal out of Texas Tech and what that could mean for the Zags, and we discuss a 2024 5-star prospect the Bulldogs are expressing interest in!

Is 2023 commit Dusty Stromer a future Gonzaga Bulldogs superstar? | Pair of big wins for the WCC Dec 14, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs may be off to a slow start this season, but 2023 commit Dusty Stromer had a monster weekend at Hoophall this weekend, cementing himself as one of the biggest risers in the class.

Jason Jordan joins me to discuss Stromer's performance, and how his consistency and ability to score multiple different ways could make him a star at Gonzaga right out of the gate.

We then take a look at big wins from Saint Mary's (over San Diego State) and BYU (over Creighton) and discuss my current prediction for how the WCC standings will look from 1 (Gonzaga) to ten (Pacific).

Finally, we close the show discussing high profile WCC contests coming up this week/weekend, including BYU playing Utah, San Francisco taking on undefeated UNLV, and Santa Clara getting a chance to beat the worst Power-5 program of all time, the Cal Golden Bears.

After another slow start, is it time for the Gonzaga Bulldogs to change up the starting lineup? Dec 13, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs powered through a slow start to down the Northern Illinois Huskies, 88-67, behind 26 points from Drew Timme, a career night from Ben Gregg, and an outstanding all-around performance from Hunter Sallis.

Sallis had another productive night, while Malachi Smith looked like Gonzaga's best offensive guard. It prompts the big question - should Gonzaga change up the starting lineup? Julian Strawther had just four points in 17 minutes, while Rasir Bolton was 1-7 from the field. Is it time to make a move?

We also look at Ben Gregg's monster night, where he scored 18 points off the bench. Efton Reid had a nice showing as well, and we got a glimpse of Dominick Harris in the closing minutes.

We close the show looking at a few Zags in the NBA, including a career-season from Zach Collins and Corey Kispert, and injury to Rui Hachimura, and a nice showing from Kelly Olynyk on the Utah Jazz.

Should Hunter Sallis start for the Gonzaga Bulldogs? | How Zags should approach Northern Illinois Dec 12, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs powered through a slow start to down the Washington Huskies, 77-60, behind 22 points from Drew Timme, a double-double from Julian Strawther, and an outstanding defensive performance from Hunter Sallis.

Sallis' effort on defense and offense has been fantastic the last few games, and we discuss whether his recent success should put him into the starting lineup, either replacing an inconsistent Rasir Bolton or pushing Anton Watson to the bench and giving the Zags a four-guard starting lineup.

We also take a look at Gonzaga's Monday evening opponent, the Northern Illinois Huskies, who are ranked outside the top 300 in KenPom with only one victory over a Division 1 opponent.

While this should be an easy victory, we look at key things the Zags could or should show in this contest, including another good game from Efton Reid, consistency from Malachi Smith, a breakout from Ben Gregg, and the potential to see Dom Harris or the walk-ons getting real minutes.
