The Gonzaga Bulldogs were once again led by the two-headed monster of Drew Timme and Julian Strawther in a win over Lorenzo Romar's Pepperdine Waves on Saturday.

Should Dom Harris play over Nolan Hickman?
Is Anton Watson an All-WCC performer?

Gonzaga Bulldogs make a statement in 43 point win over LMU | Julian Strawther's stock is on the rise Feb 17, 2023

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs scored 68 points in the first half to absolutely stomp LMU on the road, winning by 43 points behind 30 from Julian Strawther and a quiet but effective night from Drew Timme.

Mark Few's team had an outstanding gameplan and executed to perfection, pulling the Lions out of their rhythm and sending a statement to all of college basketball: this team is back and they can beat anyone in the country.

We discuss Strawther's elite performance and torrid stretch, and how it not only raises the ceiling for this team in March it also helps his NBA draft stock.

Finally, we close the show looking at GU's next opponent, the Pepperdine Waves, and what needs to happen for the team to get a win in Malibu.

Mark Few, Brett Yormark, and Drew Timme: 10 figures who will influence Gonzaga for the next 20 years Feb 16, 2023

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs rose from a flash in the pan program into a college basketball powerhouse over the last 20 years under coach Mark Few. The next 20 will almost certainly look a lot different, but Few remains the catalyst for what this program becomes in the next two decades.

Few isn't alone, however, as we look at the ten figures most likely to alter the Gonzaga landscape between now and 2043. The list includes Big-12 commissioner Brett Yormark, SEC commissioner Greg Sankey, the NCAA President, coach Lisa Fortier, and even Drew Timme - who's NIL impact will be felt for years to come.

Gonzaga's WCC title hopes depend on Zags stopping Cam Shelton | Who will win WCC player of the year? Feb 15, 2023

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs travel to LMU to take on the Lions - the only WCC team ever to beat the Zags, Saint Mary's, and BYU in the same season. For Mark Few's team to stay afloat in the WCC Championship race, they'll need to find a way to contain Cam Shelton who had 27 points the last time these two teams met.

The WCC season is nearing an end and it's time to make predictions for how the end of the season awards will shake out. Drew Timme is narrowly the pick for conference player of the year - but that's the only award going to a member of the Bulldogs.

We close the show looking at the ten man all-WCC team options, as well as five second team players, and the surprisingly few Zag players who are in contention for these awards in what has been a unique WCC season.

What's next for the Gonzaga Bulldogs and the Big-12 Conference? | Bracketology sends the Zags East Feb 14, 2023

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs remain in the thick of conference realignment discussions, although the Big-12 is currently focused on poaching the four corner schools from the Pac-12 in Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, and Utah. So what does that mean for Mark Few's team?

The latest bracketology from ESPN has the Zags as a four seed, but travelling all the way to Albany to take on Yale in the first round with a potential date against UConn awaiting them in the second round. Why such a bad draw for a team playing well right now?

We close the show looking at the Lady Zags, who are on the seven line after defeating Portland and likely securing first place in the WCC regular season.

Hunter Sallis playing late game minutes and what that means

Gonzaga dominates San Francisco | How LMU beating SMC impacts WCC standings | NBA trade deadline Feb 10, 2023

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs dominated San Francisco on Thursday behind 23 points from Rasir Bolton and an excellent first half from Drew Timme. The big win, coupled with Saint Mary's losing to LMU, means the Zags have a chance to win the WCC Championship if they can defeat the Gaels to close out the season.

First the Zags will take on BYU for the final time as conference foes, and we have five keys to victory including guarding the perimeter and playing more of sophomore guard Hunter Sallis.

The episode closes looking at how the NBA trade deadline impacted the eight pro Zags, including a new starting role for Zach Collins and a mentor for Andrew Nembhard.

Predicting the starting lineup and rotation for the 2023-24 Gonzaga Bulldogs Feb 08, 2023

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs could lose as many as five starters from this year's roster, but could also return as many as four - with only Rasir Bolton guaranteed to leave. That makes it very difficult to predict what Mark Few's team will look like in Spokane next year, but we take our best stab at it here in February.

Will Drew Timme and Julian Strawther return or go to the NBA? Is Anton Watson for sure gone or could he come back? Will Ben Gregg step into a starting lineup? How about Hunter Sallis?

This episode makes predictions about all of that, as well as a few guys who could look to transfer after this season, and what the newcomers (Dusty Stromer, Alex Toohey, and Jung Seok Yeo) will do in year one in The Kennel.

Is Christian Nitu the next Gonzaga superstar from Canada? | Zags a higher seed than Saint Mary's? Feb 07, 2023

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs have interest in Canadian prospect Christian Nitu, a stretch four in the same vein as former Canada Zags Kelly Olynyk and Kyle Wiltjer. With Creighton, TCU, and Illinois in the mix, can Mark Few and the Zags keep the pipeline going with our friends up north?

Andy and Jason also discuss Steve Lavin's latest win on the recruiting trail, and what it means for the WCC going forward.

Then, Andy discusses the latest bracketology from Joe Lunardi, which has the Zags as a four seed in Las Vegas and Saint Mary's as a five seed in Orlando - is that fair? Gonzaga's resume is better in the non-conference, but will it hold up?

Finally, we close the show discussing the Andrew Nembhard-Ja Morant beef and how it led to a scandal for Morant and his family - and how Gonzaga has largely managed to avoid legal issues for their NBA stars.

Aidan Mahaney and Saint Mary's Gaels put away Gonzaga | Why didn't Mark Few play Hunter Sallis more? Feb 06, 2023

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs lost to Saint Mary's on Saturday after blowing a double-digit lead, thanks to Aidan Mahaney's dominance and a questionable decision by Mark Few to not play GU's best perimeter defensive player, Hunter Sallis, in the closing minutes.

Today is also Mailbag Monday where we answer listener submitted questions all episode long. Topics include:

Gonzaga's stagnant offense in the second half
How many of GU's starters will be back next season?
If Drew Timme returns and break records, will they have an asterisk?
Could GU and SMC both get top four seeds in March?
