Locked On Zags - Daily Podcast On Gonzaga Bulldogs Basketball

Latest Episodes:

What went wrong for Gonzaga Bulldogs in Sweet 16 loss to Arkansas Razorbacks Mar 25, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs saw their season end early in heartbreaking fashion with a loss to the Arkansas Razorbacks in the Sweet 16 on Thursday afternoon. Chet Holmgren fouled out in 23 minutes, while Andrew Nembhard had five turnovers and Mark Few's squad failed to execute from the three point line.

Today's episode looks at what went wrong for Gonzaga. Was it poor execution? Bad coaching? Were the refs the problem? We also briefly discuss the future of the program and many key players, including Holmgren, Drew Timme, Julian Strawther, and Rasir Bolton, and the decisions they are facing this offseason.

Finally, we outline the future of the podcast now that the offseason is upon us, including some talk on Gonzaga's baseball program, our Pro Zags in the NBA, WNBA, and MLB, and Andy leaves you with a Leonardo DiCaprio quote from Wolf of Wall Street: I'm Not Going Anywhere!

Gonzaga Bulldogs vs. Arkansas Razorbacks: Chet Holmgren, free throws among keys for Zags victory Mar 23, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs are set to take on the Arkansas Razorbacks on Thursday afternoon, a team that will challenge the Zags in many facets of the game. Chet Holmgren will need to be a rim protecting force, while avoiding foul trouble, and coach Mark Few and senior guard Andrew Nembhard need to help set the pace to ensure this team advances to the Elite 8.

After discussing the strengths and weaknesses for the Hogs, we also look at keys to the game for the Zags - including pace, rim protection, rebounding, and those dang free throws.

Finally, we look at the other game going on in the West Region, between Coach K's Duke Blue Devils and the Red Raiders of Texas Tech, detailing how those matchups might go and who Gonzaga would prefer to play.

Who is staying and who is headed to the NBA on this Gonzaga Bulldogs roster? Mar 22, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs are set to take on the Arkansas Razorbacks on Thursday afternoon. Today's episode takes a look at the 16 teams remaining in the NCAA Tournament, reseeding all 16 and discussing each team's path to the Final 4, strengths and weaknesses, and upcoming matchups.

Then, Patton discusses the future for six of Gonzaga's eight rotation players, who he believes will get serious consideration for the 2022 NBA draft. We know Chet Holmgren is league bound, but what about Julian Strawther, or Drew Timme? And are the freshman guards, Hunter Sallis and Nolan Hickman, for sure coming back to lead this team next year?

Finally, Andy discusses Arkansas in the third segment, detailing which key part of their game he believes the Zags will effectively neutralize, and how big of an impact that will have on the outcome.

Chatting about Gonzaga and the future of the WCC with commissioner Gloria Nevarez Mar 18, 2022

Show notes

Gonzaga advanced to the Round of 32 with a win over the Georgia State Panthers, and in the same arena on the same day the Gaels of Saint Mary's blew the doors off Big 10 opponent Iowa. It was a great day for the WCC, and Locked on Zags host Andy Patton was fortunate enough to be joined by the league's commissioner, Gloria Nevarez, on today's show!

Gloria and Andy discussed the men's basketball season and the importance, conference-wide, in having sustainable growth in that area. San Francisco making the tournament is monumental, but more can be done to ensure continued success.

Then, in the second segment, Andy and Gloria discussed BYU's upcoming departure, and how it impacts multiple sports including, quite notably, women's basketball. Gloria doesn't say exactly what is next for the conference, but offers some ideas of how they will handle losing a big program. Gloria also talks about potentially renewing the contract at the Orleans Arena for the WCC Tournament in future seasons.

And finally, Patton and Nevarez end the show talking about the NCAA's new NIL rules and how they impact student-athletes from multiple sports - and Gloria offers her beliefs on how this will continue to change college sports and the WCC in the future. She ends the show with her bracket predictions - and you'll have to listen to see who she has winning it all!

A jam-packed, fun episode for Gonzaga fans!

1. Gonzaga Bulldogs vs. 16. Georgia State Panthers: Preview, Predictions, Things to Watch Mar 16, 2022

Show notes

Gonzaga is set to take on Georgia State on Thursday. Georgia State is one of the most dangerous 16 seeds in recent memory, and today's episode is a deep dive into what makes the Panthers out of the Sun Belt conference so dangerous, as well as what makes them beatable.

The second segment is a look at Andy's five keys to the game on Thursday, including a dominant game from Chet Holmgren, taking care of the basketball by the guards, getting out in transition as often as possible, and good performances from the bench mob including Anton Watson and Hunter Sallis.

Finally, the third segment is a preview of the 8-9 matchup between the Boise State Broncos and the Memphis Tigers, a very interesting matchup between two very contrasting teams coached by Leon Rice and Penny Hardaway. Will Rice and the Broncos manage to slow down Penny and his team, led by lottery pick Jalen Duren? Or will Memphis' athleticism win out and result in a challenging matchup for Gonzaga in the Round of 32?

Portland coach Shantay Legans talks about coaching against Gonzaga and the strength of the WCC Mar 15, 2022

Show notes

Gonzaga is set to take on Georgia State in the first round of the 2022 NCAA Tournament on Thursday in Portland. Speaking of Portland, I am joined in today's episode by Portland Pilots head coach Shantay Legans. Shantay discusses his first season on the bluff, which resulted in a 7-7 record in conference play and an All-Conference second team performer in Tyler Robertson.

Then, in the second segment, coach Legans talks about his time at Eastern Washington, what it was like being in Gonzaga's shadow, and his experience going up against them this year in Spokane. Legans called Gonzaga the best team in the country and believes this is the year for the Zags!

And finally, Legans discusses the WCC as a whole, including his impression of San Francisco and Saint Mary's and his belief that Santa Clara - who he called the second best offense they faced this year - should still be playing in the NCAA Tournament.

A jam-packed, fun episode for Gonzaga fans, Portland fans, and fans of the WCC!
