Locked On Zags - Daily Podcast On Gonzaga Bulldogs Basketball

Latest Episodes:

PK85 is here | What to Watch: Gonzaga Bulldogs vs Portland State Vikings | Thankful for Anton Watson Nov 24, 2022

Show notes

Happy Thanksgiving! The Gonzaga Bulldogs are set to take on the Portland State Vikings in the final Thanksgiving game of the PK85 - following many other marquee squads including North Carolina, Oregon, UConn, Villanova, Michigan State, and Alabama.

While the Vikings likely won't pose much of a threat to the Zags, this game does give fans the opportunity to see some of GU's other plays potentially shine - including Dominick Harris, Ben Gregg, Efton Reid, Malachi Smith, and perhaps the walk-ons Colby Brooks, Abe Eagle, and even Joe Few.

We close the show giving thanks on this holiday, thanks for true road games, thanks for Mark Few's in-game coaching, Anton Watson's emergence, and you all - dear listeners.

Gonzaga Bulldogs to the Big-12: Timeline, hurdles, expectations with Baylor matchup coming up Nov 23, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs are two weeks away from an epic showdown with Scott Drew and the Baylor Bears - which could be the perfect time to make an announcement about Big 12 Conference realignment. Today's episode discusses that possibility, as well as exploring the Ben Gregg and Efton Reid playing time competition.

Then, we take a look at five WCC players I would add to Gonzaga's current roster, including a pair from Pepperdine and USF's lead guard.

Finally, we close the show talking about Lisa Fortier's women's team with Matthew Walter, a reporter covering WCC women's basketball. What is the ceiling for this team, and how critical has Brynna Maxwell been to their success?

Can Gonzaga contain the turnovers? | Point Guard Drew Timme | Where is Dom Harris? Nov 22, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs are 3-1 after tough victories over Michigan State and Kentucky, but Mark Few's team still has one glaring issue: turnovers.

Today's episode is a delayed mailbag, and we discuss turnovers as a whole, Nolan Hickman's role, Drew Timme's turnover concerns, Malachi Smith's lack of contribution so far, and Efton Reid's future.

We also get into my preferred NCAAT path for the Zags, how this schedule is preparing Gonzaga for March, Rasir Bolton's recent performance, and the lady Zags securing big victories over Louisville and Tennessee in the Bahamas.

Gonzaga Bulldogs stomp Kentucky Wildcats behind career nights from Anton Watson and Julian Strawther Nov 21, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs put the loss to Texas in the rearview mirror on Sunday, blowing out John Calipari's Kentucky Wildcats in the first half and coasting to an 88-72 victory. Anton Watson played the best game of his collegiate career, while Julian Strawther dropped 20 points and grabbed 14 rebounds.

We discuss Gonzaga's persistent turnover issues, despite the victory, while also touching on Calipari's coaching decisions and the lack of impact from Gonzaga's two transfers, Malachi Smith and Efton Reid.

Then, we close out the show discussing the Lady Zags, who secured a huge victory over Louisville in the Bahamas before losing to Marquette on Sunday.

What the Gonzaga Bulldogs need to do to avoid another loss against the Kentucky Wildcats Nov 18, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs take on John Calipari's Kentucky Wildcats at the Spokane Arena in the first of six marquee non-conference matchups for Mark Few's program. Drew Timme vs. Oscar Tshiebwe is the big matchup, but Kentucky also has dynamic guard play from Sahvir Wheeler and Cason Wallace, and will no doubt look to avoid taking their second loss of the season.

I also provide my five things to watch for this game, including the Nolan Hickman vs. Hunter Sallis debate, more production from transfers Malachi Smith and Efton Reid, avoiding sloppy turnovers, and more!

Then, we close out the show discussing three Zags in the NBA who are having great starts to their season: Jalen Suggs, Andrew Nembhard, and Corey Kispert.

Wednesday's blowout loss to the Texas Longhorns exposed the Gonzaga Bulldogs biggest flaws Nov 17, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs got blown out in embarrassing fashion against Chris Beard and the Texas Longhorns on Wednesday, turning the ball over 20(!) times and nearly losing by twenty points for the first time since 2010. Mark Few's team lacks any communication on the defensive end of the floor, and the struggles from the GU backcourt, namely Nolan Hickman, have continued a few games into the season.

I also react to the five things I planned to watch for this game, including Gonzaga's complete lack of transition offense, inability to filter out the noise of the fans, and Efton Reid's continued foul trouble.

Then, we close out the show discussing true road games, how they are good for college basketball and ultimately good for Gonzaga to experience, even though this one turned into a frustrating rout.

Gonzaga Bulldogs vs. Texas Longhorns | Can Drew Timme do it again? | Big week for the WCC Nov 16, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs head to Austin, Texas to take on Chris Beard's Longhorns in a true road contest. Mark Few's team isn't afraid to play big games early in the year, and today's show is a full breakdown of the matchup between the Longhorns and Zags. We discuss what happened last year at the Kennel, when Drew Timme dropped 37 points, and why this matchup could be a little different after Texas picked up a pair of high profile freshmen and multiple key transfers.

I also provide my five things to watch for this game, including Timme's role, how Nolan Hickman responds to pressure, Gonzaga's transition offense, and how Efton Reid could fit into the game plan.

Then, we close out the show discussing five huge WCC matchups coming up this week, including LMU and Georgetown playing in Jamaica, and a potentially season-altering opportunity for Steve Lavin and the San Diego Toreros.

Alex Toohey and Dusty Stromer give the Gonzaga Bulldogs a dynamic 2023 recruiting class Nov 15, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs landed a prized recruit in the class of 2023, Alex Toohey, who comes to Spokane out of the NBA Global Academy in Australia. Alongside Dusty Stromer, Mark Few's program has two big pieces set to help out next season.

Today's episode includes Jason Jordan of Sports Illustrated, who joins to break down Toohey's game and why he is such a great fit with the Zags. We also discuss international recruiting as a whole, and a few other targets for the Bulldogs in the class of 2024, including Dedan Thomas, Carter Bryant, and Zoom Diallo.

Finally, we end the show with discussion about Lisa Fortier's Lady Zags, who are 2-0 with wins over Long Beach State and Southern Utah. They play Wyoming on the road Tuesday before a big matchup with No. 6 Louisville in the Bahamas on Saturday, and we preview that matchup and discuss what a win would mean for this program before Thanksgiving.

Drew Timme dominates, Gonzaga defeats Michigan State | Gloria Nevarez out as WCC Commissioner Nov 14, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs stormed from behind to defeat Tom Izzo and the Michigan State Spartans, 64-63, behind a monster night from Drew Timme and stellar coaching from Mark Few in the second half.

Today's episode is mailbag Monday, and we discuss how to interpret this result for the Zags, who were losing for most of the game but still came away with a victory. We discuss Timme's performance, Nolan Hickman's absence in the second half, the emergence of Hunter Sallis as a true point guard, and how this team will do in the rest of the non-conference schedule.

Finally, we end the show with discussion about Gloria Nevarez taking a new job at the Mountain West Conference, and if that means anything for Gonzaga or the WCC.

Gonzaga Bulldogs vs. Michigan State Spartans: Breaking down the Armed Forces Classic Nov 11, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs are 1-0 with a big game against Tom Izzo and the Michigan State Spartans scheduled for Friday on the USS Abraham Lincoln, an aircraft carrier in San Diego for the return of the Armed Forces Classic.

Today's show is a full breakdown of the matchup between the Spartans and Mark Few's Zags. We discuss the history of aircraft carrier games, why Gonzaga fans are a bit uneasy about the situation, and even Drew Timme's recent comments about the conditions heading into the game.

I also provide my five things to watch for this game, including backup point guard minutes, Julian Strawther's usage, and whether we will see much from Dominick Harris or Braden Huff in this one.

Then, we close out the show discussing three other games Zag fans will want to watch this weekend, including two upcoming opponents and a look at a Big East coach playing his old school on Saturday.
