Latest Episodes:

A key injury could sink Washington Huskies against Gonzaga Bulldogs | Revisiting Zags to the Pac-12 Dec 09, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs and Washington Huskies are back at it at The Kennel on Friday evening, we discuss how Mike Hopkins' squad has performed so far this year and how the injury to Franck Kepnang will impact them against Mark Few and the Zags.

Andy and Locked on Pac-12 host Spencer McLaughlin then get into conference realignment, discussing the Pac-12's most likely addition and a few other schools they could consider as well - including Gonzaga.

We close the show looking at the Pac-12 as they get into conference play. How far ahead of the pac(k) is Arizona? Is UCLA a second weekend team? How many other teams will make the big dance? Will Oregon ever get healthy?

Drew Timme's turn to put his stamp on the Gonzaga Bulldogs - Washington Huskies in-state rivalry Dec 08, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs and Washington Huskies meet for the first time in three years, renewing a heated in-state rivalry and giving Drew Timme a chance to put his stamp on the battle between these two programs from Spokane and Seattle.

Washington runs a zone defense under coach Mike Hopkins, and they are led offensively by Keion Brooks. We look at the good and bad things about this UW squad, and then evaluate five keys for a Gonzaga victory - including breaking the zone, controlling the glass, and a few players who need to step up and have big games.

We close the show looking at the women's basketball team, who are 8-2 with one more game remaining in their non-conference slate. With the rest of the WCC looking down this year, notably Portland and BYU, it looks like the Lady Zags should roll to another WCC title - which could lead them into a potential top 5 seed for March Madness!

Gonzaga's Nolan Hickman is going to be fine | How Andrew Nembhard's NBA success helps the Zags Dec 07, 2022

Show notes

Gonzaga Bulldogs point guard Nolan Hickman is nine games into his career as a starter, so we compare his performance so far to Mark Few's most recent starters: Andrew Nembhard, Jalen Suggs, Ryan Woolridge, and Josh Perkins. Hickman's numbers are slightly below this group, but factoring in his strength of schedule should give GU fans optimism about the future!

We also talk about Indiana Pacers point guard Andrew Nembhard, who had 31 points, 13 assists, and eight rebounds against Steph Curry and Golden State on Monday - one of the best games by a rookie all season long. Why teams were wrong about him coming out of the draft, and why all this attention now is great for GU going forward!

Finally, we look at a handful of big WCC contests coming up this week, including BYU taking on Creighton and Saint Mary's facing San Diego State.

Drew Timme dominates as Gonzaga Bulldogs defeat Kent State for another Quad 1 victory Dec 06, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs grinded out a victory over Kent State at the Kennel in Spokane on Monday behind Drew Timme's 29 points and 17 rebounds, and a fantastic performance from Nolan Hickman, who played 40 minutes and had 10 points.

Mark Few's club still has issues with defensive rotations, but they managed to only turn the ball over nine times and Julian Strawther's quiet 14 points and a nice defensive performance from Hunter Sallis iced the game down the stretch.

We discuss the good and the bad from this contest, including Rasir Bolton's absence the last few games, an inconsistent game from Ben Gregg and Malachi Smith, and Gonzaga's ability to get out in transition.

We close out the show talking about Indiana Pacers point guard Andrew Nembhard, who had 31 points, 13 assists, and eight rebounds against Steph Curry and Golden State on Monday - one of the best games by a rookie all season long.

Besides turnovers, what is Gonzaga's offensive identity? | Why Kent State could be a trap game Dec 05, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs battled valiantly, but an inability to get Drew Timme involved in the offense and really off nights from Rasir Bolton and Julian Strawther led to a one point loss against the Baylor Bears on Friday, sending the Zags to a 5-3 record one month into the season.

We discuss Gonzaga's lack of an offensive identity, outside of turnovers, while also looking at the struggles from GU's supporting case and praising the performances of Malachi Smith, Anton Watson, and Ben Gregg in this contest.

Next is a preview of the Kent State Golden Flashes, who Gonzaga faces on Monday. Kent State is a top-75 team per KenPom, and they force the second most turnovers per game in the entire NCAA, a potential recipe for disaster in Spokane. However, getting out in transition, getting Timme more involved, and another strong game from Smith should help lead this team to victory on the day they celebrate Kelly Olynyk and hang his jersey in the rafters.

Who needs a win more, the Gonzaga Bulldogs or the Baylor Bears? | Will anyone watch on Peacock? Dec 02, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs have an epic showdown with Scott Drew and the Baylor Bears on Friday, a game not enough people will get to see due to it being exclusively shown on Peacock. Both the Zags and Bears are 5-2 on the season, with each suffering embarrassing losses - Baylor's coming earlier this week when Shaka Smart and Marquette defeated them by 26 points in the Big 12 - Big East challenge.

Drake Toll of Locked on Baylor joins the show and we discuss how important a win is for each team, the matchup down low with Drew Timme and Flo Thamba, as well as Baylor's dynamic veteran guards in Adam Flagler and LJ Cryer.

Finally, we close the show talking about the exclusivity issue with having this game on Peacock, and playing it in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and how trying new things isn't always the answer for college basketball.

5 keys to victory for Gonzaga Bulldogs over Baylor Bears | Courtney Vandersloot's jersey ceremony Dec 01, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs and Baylor Bears are set to face off in the Peacock Classic on Friday evening, a chance for a Mark Few and Scott Drew rematch while each team hopes to pick up a very valuable victory in what has been a challenging non-conference slate.

Baylor recently got ran out of the gym by Marquette in the Big 12 - Big East challenge, and no doubt the Zags will watch that tape to figure out how to bury this team. Still, guards Adam Flagler and LJ Cryer are playing out of their minds, and freshman Keyonte George will be a matchup issue for Gonzaga's backcourt.

We discuss five keys for a Gonzaga victory, including Hunter Sallis' role and Julian Strawther's consistency, and we finish the show discussing the three Zags who are getting their jersey hung up in the rafter this year: Kelly Olynyk (12/5) Dan Dickau (2/9) and Courtney Vandersloot (TBD).

Where is Gonzaga Bulldogs guard Dominick Harris? | And will the WCC survive without the Zags? Nov 30, 2022

Show notes

Mark Few's rotation has often been the subject of criticism from Gonzaga Bulldogs fans, and this year it seems that attention is on redshirt sophomore guard Dominick Harris. Harris, the founding member of the Tricky Trio, hasn't played much this year and we discuss why that might be, while also looking at Nolan Hickman's recent success and the up-and-down play of transfer guard Malachi Smith.

Discussion also includes Portland's Shantay Legans, the WCC after Gonzaga leaves, and we preview some big conference matchups coming up this weekend including Saint Mary's playing the No. 1 ranked Houston Cougars and a litany of matchups between WCC and Mountain West opponents.

Can the Gonzaga Bulldogs still get a No. 1 seed? | What to work on before facing the Baylor Bears Nov 29, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs have two losses before the calendar flips to December, unfamiliar territory for Mark Few's club despite a challenging non-conference slate that includes Michigan State, Texas, Purdue, Kentucky, and Xavier so far.

Today's episode is a delayed mailbag, and we discuss where this team might be seeded in March, their chances at winning a national championship, and if this team is really as good as the fans and analysts think they are.

We also get into Ben Gregg's growth over the weekend, the lack of a small ball lineup, a potential overreliance on Drew Timme, and a look at what the Zags need to do to prepare for Baylor, how Caleb Lohner might do in that game, and Oumar Ballo's development at Arizona.

Career high from Julian Strawther helps Gonzaga Bulldogs down Xavier Musketeers in PK85 Nov 28, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs finished third in the PK85 after defeating Sean Miller's Xavier Musketeers on Sunday, behind a career-high 23 points from Julian Strawther. Mark Few's squad showed some flaws this weekend, but to come back and pull off a gutsy victory despite a rough showing from Drew Timme is a sign of maturity for this team going forward.

Additionally, the Zags got huge performances from point guard Nolan Hickman, who had 10 assists and two turnovers in the Purdue and Xavier games, as well as Portland native Ben Gregg - who played great defense on Zach Edey and also hit a clutch three and grabbed six rebounds against the Musketeers.

We close the show discussing what the AP Poll will look like on Monday, where Gonzaga should be ranked, and what my top five would look like if I had a vote.
