BYU is a top-25 team in the country (per KenPom) and will provide a nice test for Mark Few and the Zags. Andy also lays out five things he'll be watching for in this one, including how Gonzaga defends Alex Barcello, how BYU defends Drew Timme, and if anyone says anything to new Zag villain Caleb Lohner.

Then, Patton discusses the AP poll in the second segment, explaining why Gonzaga should be No. 1 next week (if they win out) over Baylor, who just lost to Texas Tech, and Auburn, who just beat former Zag opponent Alabama.

Finally, Andy predicts how the rest of the slate in the WCC is going to shake out this week.

Gonzaga Bulldogs defeat North Alabama behind 15 points from Julian Strawther Dec 29, 2021

Show notes

Host Andy Patton reviews the Gonzaga Bulldogs win over the North Alabama Lions on Tuesday, discussing the ridiculously balanced scoring effort as well as the first career double-double from Anton Watson and a team-leading 15 points from Julian Strawther.

Then, in the second segment, Andy recaps the five things he'll be watching for on Tuesday, including Hunter Sallis' role, Gonzaga's three point shooting, the young big men in Ben Gregg and Kaden Perry, and a nice moment for Martynas Arlauskas.

And finally, Patton discusses the upcoming break for Gonzaga, who will not face the University of San Diego Toreros on Thursday because of a COVID pause. The WCC (and the NCAA) will need to find a way to prevent as many cancellations going forward, especially with new CDC recommendations coming up regarding self-isolation and the Omicron variant.
