Locked On Zags - Daily Podcast On Gonzaga Bulldogs Basketball

Latest Episodes:

Could we see a national title rematch between the Gonzaga Bulldogs and North Carolina Tar Heels? Jun 23, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs and the North Carolina Tar Heels have been two of college basketball's most elite programs over the past two decades. Mark Few and Roy Williams are two of the best coaches to ever do it, and all Hubert Davis did in his first season in Chapel Hill was lead his team within three points of a national championship.

Joining me on today's episode is Isaac Shade of the Locked on Tar Heels podcast. We discuss the return of Drew Timme and Armando Bacot, some starting lineup guesses for each program, the legacy of all the coaches for these two schools, and we break down the Pete Nance commitment - live on the show!

Previewing Gonzaga's Pac-12 opponents, and why year two might be a tough one for Tommy Lloyd Jun 21, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs just have one game officially on the calendar against a Pac-12 school next season, Mike Hopkins' Washington Huskies, but they could play a few more depending how the bracket shakes out in the Phil Knight Invitational. Spencer McLaughlin of Locked on Pac-12 joins the show to preview UW and to talk about Oregon and Oregon State who will be in Portland for the PK85.

The pair also discuss Tommy Lloyd's tough task heading into next season, needing to replace Benn Mathurin, Christian Koloko and Dalen Terry from an exceptional Arizona squad, and talk about Dana Altman's squad at Oregon as well.

Finally, the pair also dig into WCC hoops as well and talk about Todd Golden's departure to Florida, and how Santa Clara - led by future NBA guard Jalen Williams - had a real chance to make the NCAA Tournament last season if injuries didn't impact them early in the year.

Predicting landing spots for Gonzaga's Chet Holmgren and Andrew Nembhard in the 2022 NBA draft Jun 17, 2022

Show notes

The 2022 NBA draft is right around the corner and a pair of Gonzaga Bulldogs, Chet Holmgren and Andrew Nembhard, are expected to be selected. We gathered the industry's brightest mock drafts together and discussed potential landing spots for both Chet and Andrew in today's episode. Does Holmgren really prefer Oklahoma City over Orlando? Could Nembhard end up playing for the defending champion Golden State Warriors?

We end the show, and the week, listening to a conversation by KREM's Brenna Greene with CBS Sports analyst Gary Parrish, discussing potential starting lineups for the Zags as well as NIL's impact on the game and why Gonzaga still gets so much hate.

Previewing San Francisco and discussing Mark Few and Gonzaga's coaching tree with Kyle Bankhead Jun 16, 2022

Show notes

Mark Few's legacy extends far beyond Spokane and the Gonzaga Bulldogs, as his program has produced a litany of extremely talented coaches, including Boise State's Leon Rice, Colorado's Bill Grier, and of course Arizona's Tommy Lloyd. That does not include former players who have joined the coaching ranks, a lengthy list that includes Kyle Bankhead, who is now an assistant coach at the University of San Francisco in the WCC.

Bankhead joins the show today to discuss Few's legacy as a head coach, as well as Kyle's own journey from a player in Spokane to an assistant coach under Grier at USD and multiple other stops along the way, until his return just this month to Chris Gurlefson's staff at San Francisco.

Andy and Kyle also discuss new changes in college hoops, namely the transfer portal and new NIL laws, and what impact that has had on the game and where the future might be headed.

Gonzaga Bulldogs vs. Michigan State Spartans on an aircraft carrier, reckless or innovative? Jun 15, 2022

Show notes

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs are in advanced discussions with Tom Izzo and the Michigan State Spartans to potentially play a non-conference game on an airplane hangar in San Diego on Veteran's Day. Fun way to help engage fans in college basketball before March Madness, or potentially disastrous gimmick?

Today's episode discusses the latest scheduling rumors, while also discussing the potential vote in the WCC to expand the number of conference games, which is bad news for the Zags.

Plus we grade listener submitted hot takes about Drew Timme's future and the number of three pointers this team will average next season, and we hear from the Truong twins about their recent trip to Vietnam.

Courtney Vandersloot's legacy and how NIL and the transfer portal have impacted women's basketball Jun 14, 2022

Show notes

Women's basketball has taken significant strides as a spectator sport in recent years, both in the WNBA and at the college level. Gonzaga's program, led by coach Lisa Fortier, has remained a steady presence in the NCAA Tournament, and alumni Courtney Vandersloot is carving a path as the best passer in WNBA history.

Joining the show today is Howard Megdal, the host of the Locked On Women's Basketball podcast and creator of The Next, a newsroom dedicated to women's basketball. Howard and Andy discuss Sloot's legacy, Chicago's chances of repeating, and Kelly Graves' impact on women's basketball as the former coach of both Vandersloot and Sabrina Ionescu.

The pair also discuss Gonzaga's spot in the women's basketball space, the impact NIL and the transfer portal have had on the college game, and the exciting projects the excellent folx over at The Next are working on now and going forward.

Is this year's team too similar to Gonzaga's 20-21 roster? Will Mark Few learn from his mistakes? Jun 13, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs' roster is shaping up to look very similar to the 20-21 squad, which led by Jalen Suggs, Corey Kispert, and Drew Timme, played in the NCAA Championship before losing to the Baylor Bears. Will Mark Few learn from his mistakes, or is this team destined to suffer a similar fate due to a similar collection of flaws, namely rim protection and issues against physical guards?

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

Ben Gregg's path to playing time
Can this roster handle physicality?
Comparing this year's team to 20-21
Which Zag in the NBA will win a championship next?
Examining some buddy cop relationships among Gonzaga teammates
Which Zags would make the best coaches?

And more!

Breaking Down the Gonzaga Bulldogs' non-conference schedule for 2022-2023 Jun 10, 2022

Show notes

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs put together a roster built to compete for a national championship, and now they are working on building a schedule that will challenge them enough early in the season to prepare them for the rigors of the NCAA Tournament.

Baylor, Alabama, Texas, Washington, and the PK85 make up the tough part of the Zags non-conference slate, and in today's episode we break down each of those games as we look ahead to the upcoming season.

The rest of the episode is a discussion about Josh Perkins participating in the TBT with a team called Friday Beers, Will Graves making it official he will play at Southern Oregon next season, and Gonzaga's reference in the Adam Sandler movie Hustle by Kenny Smith.

Finally, we also discuss the future for Gonzaga's baseball program after two freshmen were named Collegiate Baseball Freshmen All-Americans.

Evaluating what Drew Timme's return means for the 2022-2023 Gonzaga Bulldogs Jun 09, 2022

Show notes

Now that the dust has settled, Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs are looking at one of the deepest, most talent-rich teams that has ever laced them up in Spokane, Washington. How this coaching staff divides minutes will be a key talking point all offseason, and came up quite a bit in today's episode when grading listener-submitted hot takes.

Drew Timme's return sparked a lot of discussion about whether having him back helps or hurts Gonzaga's chances of winning a title next year, and many other topics were discussed including:

Will Rasir Bolton start or come off the bench?
Could Julian Strawther lead this team in scoring?
What will Dominick Harris' role look like?
How many Zags will be first round picks in 2023?
Is Hunter Sallis in line to be Gonzaga's most improved player?

And more!
