Locked On Zags - Daily Podcast On Gonzaga Bulldogs Basketball

Latest Episodes:

Why Gonzaga adding Montana to the non-conference slate is good for all parties involved Jul 22, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs agreed to battle the Montana Grizzlies at The Kennel in Spokane on December 20, adding a fun regional game to the non-conference slate. More games like this, as opposed to the SWAC buy games Mark Few often schedules, would appease the fanbase and local basketball fans, while giving the Zags a better challenge.

Today's episode is a look at what other similar teams Gonzaga could add with the five remaining games on their schedule, as well as discussion about the NCAA's latest potential change to the transfer rules, and a look at the six non-Gonzaga WCC players who participated in the NBA summer league, and their chances of sticking in the league this upcoming season.

Comparing the Big East and the Pac-12 as realignment options for the Gonzaga Bulldogs Jul 21, 2022

Show notes

Conference realignment remains the biggest talking point in the NCAA and college sports, and The Athletic's Dana O'Neil and Brian Hamilton discussed the Gonzaga Bulldogs to the Big East rumor as well as what it could look like if Mark Few's program stayed near Spokane and instead joined the Pac-12.

Today's episode is a look at those two options for the Zags. Will the Big East try to add GU before their media rights deal with Fox expires in 2024-25? Is another west coast team an option to add alongside Gonzaga, like Saint Mary's or San Francisco? Is jumping to the Pac-12 even worth it for the Zags, especially if Oregon and Washington bounce?

Then, in the final segment, we discuss the new contract signed by Andrew Nembhard with the Indiana Pacers, which guarantees him more money than the 13 players selected in front of him in the 2022 NBA draft.

What a Gonzaga Bulldogs alumni squad for The Basketball Tournament might look like Jul 20, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs have four alumni participating in The Basketball Tournament (TBT) this season - Kyle Wiltjer, Admon Gilder, and Josh Perkins. With multiple alumni already interested, why hasn't anyone put a team of Gonzaga guys together since the first team, A Few Good Men, back in 2015?

Today's episode is a look at the three Zags participating and when they will be on TV, but also a discussion about what a team of Gonzaga alumni might reasonably look like. Even excluding the NBA guys, would a group of alumni be good enough to win the $1 million prize? I offer a 12-man roster that I think is realistic, and discuss how they might do in TBT.

Then, in the final segment, we discuss the four Gonzaga Baseball pitchers who were selected in the 2022 MLB draft - Gabriel Hughes, Tristan Vrieling, William Kempner, and Brody Jessee.

What would a Pac-12 and ACC merger look like, and could it involve the Gonzaga Bulldogs? Jul 19, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs had four players participate in the NBA summer league: Chet Holmgren (Thunder) Andrew Nembhard (Pacers) Joel Ayayi (Hawks) and Filip Petrusev (76ers). While Holmgren and Nembhard are secure in their roster spots, Ayayi and Petrusev were fighting to begin the season on a roster and not in the G-League or overseas.

Today's episode is a look at how each of the four Zags fared now that summer league action is over. We've seen some highlight reel plays from Holmgren, but what are his areas of growth? Is Nembard's high turnover rate an issue? Will Ayayi and Petrusev show enough scoring prowess to stick this time around?

Then, in the final segment, we discuss the news that the Pac-12 and Big-12 merger is out. Will the Pac-12 pursue a soft merger with the ACC? Could they try to poach Kansas or Houston from the Big-12? And finally, what does it all mean for Gonzaga?

Those questions and more answered in today's show!

Starting lineups and minutes predictions for the 2022-23 Gonzaga Bulldogs Jul 18, 2022

Show notes

Mark Few is going to have a lot of hard choices with the Gonzaga Bulldogs roster during the 2022-2023 season. With Drew Timme, Julian Strawther, and Rasir Bolton all returning to join returners Anton Watson, Nolan Hickman, and Hunter Sallis - and newcomers Efton Reid and Malachi Smith - there may not be enough minutes to go around in Spokane.

Today is mailbag Monday, and discussing Gonzaga's lineup and making minutes predictions is just one of many topics covered, including:

Is conference realignment the new norm, and will it kill the NCAA?
Predicting where Strawther will rank among Gonzaga's scorers next year
What can we expect from Hickman and Sallis next season?
Will Joel Ayayi make the Atlanta Hawks roster?
Should Gonzaga schedule any WAC schools?
Where do Gonzaga's women's players play after graduation?

And more!

Brenna Greene says goodbye to Spokane and talks Gonzaga Bulldogs and conference realignment Jul 15, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs saw three key players - Drew Timme, Julian Strawther, and Rasir Bolton - all return to Spokane for next season, while Mark Few went out and added two big additions in Malachi Smith and Efton Reid.

Here to talk about her experience chatting with these five players after they made the decision to come (back) to Gonzaga is Brenna Greene, the former sports director at KREM and now a sports anchor at KOIN in Portland.

Brenna talks about her transition to Portland, her final story about Nolan Hickman and his brother, her favorite Gonzaga-related story, and her thoughts on conference realignment and where she - as a GU fan and alumni - would like to see the Zags end up conference wise in the future.

Breaking down how an NBA roster of Gonzaga Bulldogs would do over an 82 game season Jul 13, 2022

Show notes

The majority of the Gonzaga Bulldogs playing in the NBA met for dinner in Las Vegas during the NBA summer league last week, prompting Chet Holmgren to comment that he wished this was the squad he was rolling into his rookie season playing with.

That got us thinking - would a team of (mostly) NBA Zags be successful in the league if they were to suit up together for a full 82 game season?

Today's episode is a look at what a starting lineup would look like out of this group, how the minutes would be spread amongst the 13 players in question, and answers many other questions, including: Would this be a top-10 frontcourt? Who would play the wing positions? And who from Mark Few's current squad would be the most useful addition?

Those questions and more answered in today's show!

A look at the four Gonzaga Bulldogs participating in the 2022 NBA Summer League Jul 12, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs have four players participating in the NBA summer league: Chet Holmgren (Thunder) Andrew Nembhard (Pacers) Joel Ayayi (Hawks) and Filip Petrusev (76ers). While Holmgren and Nembhard are secure in their roster spots, Ayayi and Petrusev are fighting to begin the season on a roster and not in the G-League or overseas.

Today's episode is a look at how each of the four Zags have fared through the first week or so of summer league action. We've seen some highlight reel plays from Holmgren, but what are his areas of growth? Is Nembard's high turnover rate an issue? Will Ayayi and Petrusev show enough scoring prowess to stick this time around?

Will the Pac-12 survive conference realignment, and what that could mean for the Gonzaga Bulldogs Jul 11, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs are going to face some tough decisions now that the Pac-12 is falling apart as a casualty of college football's conference realignment party. While it's unclear if the Pac-12, Mountain West, or Big East will be realistic destinations for Mark Few's squad, it does present a handful of new questions for the Spokane school.

Today is mailbag Monday, and discussing Gonzaga's realignment concerns is just one of many topics covered, including:

Will the Pac-12 and Mountain West merge, and could GU get an invite?
How certain is Gonzaga to the Big East?
My dream 16-team college basketball super conference
Could Gonzaga just move basketball to the Big East?
Anton Watson's role in 22-23
How many Gonzaga Baseball players will get drafted?

And more!

Gonzaga Bulldogs to the Big East: The pros and the cons Jul 08, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs have threatened conference realignment before, and with the seismic shift taking place these days in the wake of UCLA and USC joining the Big Ten it seems even more likely they will be out of the WCC in the next few years,

The Pac-12 will never look the same again, especially if Oregon and Washington follow suit, which leaves a lot of questions for Zags fans: will Mark Few's squad finally join the Pac-12, or is it even worth it? Could this move push Gonzaga to try to join the Big East - especially if the rumor that Kansas is headed there is true? Is it that bad to just stay put in the WCC?

Today's episode evaluates the pros and cons of each of the above three options, discussing things like tv revenue, travel, olympic sports, rivalries, and more!
