Gonzaga Bulldogs in the NBA season preview: Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard Sep 02, 2022

Show notes

The NBA season is nearly here, and as many as 10 Gonzaga Bulldogs could suit up for various NBA squads this year, a testament to the high level recruiting and player development Mark Few's program has going on in Spokane. Today's episode is a preview of the newest NBA Zag, Indiana Pacers rookie point guard Andrew Nembhard.

We discuss Nembhard's history, going from Canada to Florida to Gonzaga and to the NBA in segment one, before breaking down what his best and worst case scenarios would be in his rookie season under coach Rick Carlisle.

Finally, segment three is a look at Nembhard's expected production in year one, as well as another fan story Friday, where a listener shared a story about switching from UNC to Gonzaga fandom, while sharing his thoughts on whether Kennedy Meeks was truly out of bounds in the 2017 national championship.

Grad transfer Brynna Maxwell on her game, why she chose Gonzaga, and her favorite Spokane location Sep 01, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga women's basketball program has seen 10 players depart in the past two seasons, making it a need for coach Lisa Fortier to find some experience via the NCAA transfer portal. Enter Brynna Maxwell, a graduate transfer who averaged 10+ points per game in each of the past three seasons with the Utah Utes.

Maxwell joins the program today to discuss her decision to leave Utah and come to Spokane and join the Bulldogs, and what her first few weeks at Gonzaga have been like so far.

We also hear her explain her strengths on the basketball floor, the potential to have her do more post-up work this season, her excitement about playing Stanford and BYU, and of course the team's trip to the Bahamas for the Battle 4 Atlantis.

Finally, Brynna discusses her overall experience in the transfer portal, how she feels about NIL after one year in practice, and her favorite places in Spokane.

Analyzing the incoming freshmen on Gonzaga's non-conference opponents this upcoming season Aug 30, 2022

Show notes

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs are set to take on an excellent crop of teams during the 2022-23 season, including Kentucky, Baylor, Alabama, Texas, and Michigan State.

Each of those teams secured high level recruits in the class of 2022, and Jason Jordan of Sports Illustrated joins the show to discuss the incoming freshmen for these programs and what kind of impact they will have in year one.

Specific topics include Keyonte George's impact under Scott Drew at Baylor, John Calipari's woes on the court but his successes on the recruiting trail, how much pressure Chris Beard is under in year two in Austin, and how out of all these schools it was Nate Oats and the Alabama Crimson Tide who secured the best recruiting class.

Finally, we end the show with discussion about junior college transfers and international recruiting and how that has been impacted by the NCAA transfer portal and NIL deals in recent years, with discussion on Tommy Lloyd and the Arizona Wildcats as well.

Former Gonzaga Bulldog Chet Holmgren out for 2022-23 season with lisfranc injury in right foot Aug 26, 2022

Show notes

Former Gonzaga Bulldogs big man Chet Holmgren suffered a lisfranc injury in his foot while defending LeBron James at Jamal Crawford's Crawsover Pro-Am on Saturday, and Oklahoma City Thunder GM Sam Presti confirmed the rookie will miss the entire 2022-23 season.

Today's episode discusses recovery from this type of injury, as well as other athletes who have missed their entire rookie season (including Blake Griffin and Ben Simmons) and more discussion on how fans react to this news.

The second segment is a discussion about pro-am events in general, what went wrong at The Crawsover on Saturday, and whether the NBA will continue to allow these type of events going forward (and what they can and can't regulate).

Finally, segment three is another fan story Friday, where a listener shared a story about their experience watching and celebrating Jalen Suggs' iconic shot against UCLA in the 2021 NCAA Tournament Final Four.

Former Gonzaga Bulldog Chet Holmgren suffers foot injury at The Crawsover Pro-Am, out indefinitely Aug 25, 2022

Show notes

Former Gonzaga Bulldogs big man Chet Holmgren may have suffered a torn ligament in his foot while defending LeBron James at Jamal Crawford's Crawsover Pro-Am on Saturday, putting the Oklahoma City Thunder rookie in jeopardy of beginning the season healthy.

Today's episode discusses Holmgren's injury, potential timeline to return to the court, and the less than optimal way fans have reacted to this news since it broke.

Gonzaga also added a new game to their non-conference slate, a matchup with the Northern Illinois Huskies of the MAC. We discuss the Huskies and postulate on two other games the Zags could add to round out their non-conference schedule this season.

Finally, segment three is a look at Courtney Vandersloot's season with the Chicago Sky after they defeated the New York Liberty to advance to the second round of the WNBA playoffs, where they are hoping to become the first repeat champions since the Los Angeles Sparks in 2002.

Gonzaga Bulldogs targeting 2024 point guard Zoom Diallo, who is set to visit Spokane September 9 Aug 23, 2022

Show notes

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs have their sights set on Zoom Diallo, a 2024 point guard from Tacoma, Washington who is tentatively set to visit Spokane unofficially on September 9. Will he be next in a long line of Seattle-area high schoolers to become Zags, including Dan Dickau, Gary Bell, and Corey Kispert?

Today's episode begins with Sports Illustrated's Jason Jordan discussing who Diallo is as a player and what makes him a desirable fit at Gonzaga, and also discussing the Pro-Am events that many high school athletes have participated in this summer.

Then, a look at 247Sports' updated rankings for the class of 2023 - including Dusty Stromer, Wesley Yates, and Kaden Cooper's newest evaluations. Finally, the show ends with analysis of Gonzaga's former players participating in FIBA events this month: Jeremy Pargo for FIBA AmeriCup and Kelly Olynyk, Kevin Pangos, and Kyle Wiltjer for Team Canada.

3 bold predictions for the Gonzaga Bulldogs in the 2022-23 college basketball season Aug 19, 2022

Show notes

The 2022-2023 Gonzaga Bulldogs basketball season is still a few months away, but with Mark Few's roster set it's time to make some bold predictions about individual players in Spokane.

Host Andy Patton makes three bold predictions, which includes analysis on Julian Strawther, Hunter Sallis, Braden Huff, Ben Gregg, Kaden Perry, and Gonzaga's starting lineup and rotation patterns. How will Few find playing time for the three young bigs behind Drew Timme, Anton Watson, and Efton Reid? Could Sallis jump into the draft conversation? Will Strawther's hot shooting help him do something that hasn't been done in nearly a decade?

All that and more!

Starting lineups, non-conference schedule, and Gonzaga to the Big East rumors with John Fanta Aug 18, 2022

Show notes

Mark Few will have plenty of options to craft a starting lineup and rotation during the upcoming 2022-23 college basketball season, with newcomers Efton Reid and Malachi Smith joining a packed group of returners in Spokane. Could they get the No. 1 ranking again in the preseason, or will North Carolina be the pick?

Joining me to discuss preseason rankings, lineups, rotations, and much more is John Fanta of Fox Sports and the Field of 68. John and I breakdown Gonzaga's lineup and ridiculously challenging non-conference schedule, while also looking at conference realignment, specifically discussing how important it is for Gonzaga to find somewhere other than the WCC to play and why the Big East makes a lot of sense.

J.P. Batista returns to Gonzaga Bulldogs, joins Mark Few's staff as graduate assistant Aug 16, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs added J.P. Batista, one of the program's greatest transfers and international stars, back to the staff as a graduate assistant after he retired from his excellent 16-year playing career spent primarily in France. Batista was teammates with Brian Michaelson and Stephen Gentry under coach Mark Few back in 2005, and now he will help GU's big men while learning the ropes of coaching at this level.

Today's episode not only discusses Batista's impact, but we take a look at the women's basketball video coordinator, former Zag Haiden Palmer, while discussing David Stockton's return to the FIBA qualifiers and Eric McClellan's new contract over in Romania.

Finally, we close out the show with Jason Jordan of Sports Illustrated joining us to discuss Wesley Yates listing Gonzaga inside his top nine and 2024 two-way guard prospect Jamari Phillips including Gonzaga in his top six.

John Calipari and the Kentucky Wildcats are coming to Spokane to take on the Gonzaga Bulldogs Aug 12, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs and Kentucky Wildcats will take each other on at the Spokane Arena in November, adding another incredible opponent to Mark Few's non-conference schedule. John Calipari made it very clear they won't be playing at The Kennel, however, preferring to play the game at the bigger Spokane Arena.

We discuss Calipari's unwillingness (fear?) of playing in an arena with 6,000 seats, as well as the excellent matchup between Drew Timme and Oscar Tshiebwe and how an AP Player of the Year facing a two-time AP All-American is great for the sport, with NIL being the biggest reason this is happening.

Finally, we close the show discussing SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey's comments asking for potential expansion of the NCAA Tournament, and the growing concern the league may try to do away with the automatic qualifier for every D-1 conference - which would be a devastating blow to the countries greatest sporting event.
