Latest Episodes:

Predicting a starting lineup for the 2022-2023 Gonzaga Bulldogs Jun 07, 2022

Show notes

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs have a ton of premier talent at every single position on the roster as they prepare for another Final 4 run and a potential national championship - the first in Spokane. In today's episode, Andy is joined by Tristan Freeman of Busting Brackets, where the pair discuss the return of Julian Strawther, Rasir Bolton, and Drew Timme, as well as incoming transfer Malachi Smith.

They also break down potential starting lineups and rotations the Zags could employ next year, and discuss how this roster crunch will impact newcomer Efton Reid and bench options like Dominick Harris, Ben Gregg, Kaden Perry, and Braden Huff.

Finally, Freeman discloses who his preseason No. 1 team would be at this point in the off-season - and what could happen to change that pick.

Analyzing the Gonzaga Bulldogs' potential lineups, rotation, and the team's biggest weakness Jun 06, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs had a banner week last week, securing the return of Rasir Bolton, Julian Strawther, and Drew Timme while also adding transfer guard Malachi Smith. Mark Few is going to have extremely tough decisions to make with his rotation next season, and it could get even more challenging if 2022 international recruit Baba Miller picks Gonzaga over Florida State on Monday.

Today is mailbag Monday, and discussing Gonzaga's roster 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, and to Baylor
What is this team's biggest weakness?
Recapping Gonzaga's struggles in the NCAA regional
Will anyone transfer out?

And more!

Adding Chattanooga transfer Malachi Smith makes the Gonzaga Bulldogs the No. 1 team in the country Jun 03, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs not only returned Drew Timme, Julian Strawther, and Rasir Bolton in the past 48 hours, but they also secured a commitment from Chattanooga transfer Malachi Smith. Mark Few now has the deepest nine-man rotation in the country, and will have a ton of tough decisions to make to figure out how to get this team back into the national championship game.

Today's episode breaks down Smith's game and his fit on this roster, and what it could mean for the development of young guards Nolan Hickman and Hunter Sallis. Then, we take a look at Gonzaga's off-season overall and ask the important question: Are they the No. 1 team in the country?

Finally, we close out the show talking about Gonzaga's baseball team as they set to face Columbia on Friday at 10:00 in the first round of the Blacksburg regional.

Drew Timme and Julian Strawther make the Gonzaga Bulldogs title contenders Jun 02, 2022

Show notes

One day after Rasir Bolton made the surprise decision to return to the Gonzaga Bulldogs, he was joined by superstars Drew Timme and Julian Strawther. With Mark Few now returning three of his five starters, are the kinds in Spokane once again NCAA Championship contenders?

We discuss Timme's legacy and Julian's decision to come back in the first segment, and then we hear from Julian in segment two - where he discusses how hard this decision was for him, what he learned at the NBA draft combine, and how he had some fun with Gonzaga fans on Twitter.

Finally, we close out the show talking about potential starting lineups for the Zags, which could include Chattanooga transfer Malachi Smith if he commits, as well as 2022 European prospect Baba Miller who is currently in Spokane.

Gonzaga Bulldogs guard Rasir Bolton returns to Spokane for one more year Jun 01, 2022

Show notes

Gonzaga Bulldogs guard Rasir Bolton made it official that he is returning to Spokane to join Mark Few's team for one more season in 2022-2023. While we await the decisions from Drew Timme and Julian Strawther, we look at Bolton's impact last year and what we can expect from him again next season, as a seasoned guard who shot over 45% from three last year. We also hear from Bolton in a five-minute interview conducted by KREM's Brenna Greene, where he touches on why he wanted to return and why he feels this team has unfinished business.

The final segment is a brief preview of the big non-conference game between Gonzaga and the Baylor Bears, now scheduled for December 2 in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. We discuss why Gonzaga doesn't play many home and true road games, and the Caleb Lohner factor for this upcoming battle.

Talkin' Gonzaga Bulldogs hoops, transfer portal, NIL, and Taco Bell with former Zag Sam Dower May 27, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs have a rich history of developing big men, and one of Mark Few and his staff's greatest success stories is Minnesota native Sam Dower, who spent three years in a reserve role before breaking out as a senior in 2013-2014. Sam joins the show to discuss his development at Gonzaga, how a kid from Minnesota ended up in Spokane (before it was cool) and he talks about his best friend, Kelly Olynyk, and the rise he took from non-prospect to 10-year NBA veteran.

Andy and Sam also discuss the transfer portal, Mark Few's legacy, and what Sam would demand from Taco Bell if he had NIL when he was at GU: https://linktr.ee/LockedOnZags.

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs will take on the LMU Lions in the second round of the WCC Tournament after LMU defeated BYU late Wednesday night. Gabriel Hughes takes the hill for the Zags, who have a great shot at hosting a regional after Oregon lost to Arizona to begin the Pac-12 Tournament.

Today's episode previews the WCC Tournament, before diving into the program record nine Zags who were honored with WCC awards - including head coach Mark Machtolf, freshman Cade McGee, and shortstop Connor Coballes.

Which Gonzaga Bulldogs could represent their countries in the 2024 Olympic Games May 25, 2022

Show notes

Two Gonzaga Bulldog legends, Kelly Olynyk and Kevin Pangos, are set to represent Canada as they prepare for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, France. While having two former Zags representing Canada in the Olympics is an incredible accomplishment for Mark Few's program, one has to wonder if we will also see Brandon Clarke, Kyle Wiltjer, or Andrew Nembhard repping team Canada in the coming years.

Today's episode breaks down the Canadian Zags, and also takes a look at a few other Gonzaga alumni who could end up playing in the Olympics in a few short years.

The final two segments take a look at eight former Zags who finished successful basketball campaigns in Europe, including Filip Petrusev (who could be on his way to the NBA) and Pryzemek Karnowski, who returned after missing three seasons with a knee injury for his hometown team in Torun, Poland: https://linktr.ee/LockedOnZags.

2022 NBA draft: Why Gonzaga's Andrew Nembhard is a potential first round pick May 24, 2022

Show notes

The 2022 NBA draft combine took place last week, and Friday's biggest star was former Gonzaga Bulldogs point guard Andrew Nembhard, who had 26 points and 11 assists in the scrimmage. Nembhard has now gone from a likely undrafted player to a potential first round or early second round selection - a testament to the growth he had last year under coach Mark Few.

We break down Nembhard's game and likelihood of getting drafted in the first round in segment one, and in the second segment, we look at Gonzaga's offense on the baseball side, and what needs to change if they want to avoid an early-round exit in the regionals this year.

Finally, we end the show answering two listener-submitted questions, one about potential opponents Gonzaga could face in a regional, and another about the draft spot for right-handed pitcher Gabriel Hughes: https://linktr.ee/LockedOnZags.
