Locked On Zags - Daily Podcast On Gonzaga Bulldogs Basketball

Latest Episodes:

Wednesday's blowout loss to the Texas Longhorns exposed the Gonzaga Bulldogs biggest flaws Nov 17, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs got blown out in embarrassing fashion against Chris Beard and the Texas Longhorns on Wednesday, turning the ball over 20(!) times and nearly losing by twenty points for the first time since 2010. Mark Few's team lacks any communication on the defensive end of the floor, and the struggles from the GU backcourt, namely Nolan Hickman, have continued a few games into the season.

I also react to the five things I planned to watch for this game, including Gonzaga's complete lack of transition offense, inability to filter out the noise of the fans, and Efton Reid's continued foul trouble.

Then, we close out the show discussing true road games, how they are good for college basketball and ultimately good for Gonzaga to experience, even though this one turned into a frustrating rout.

Gonzaga Bulldogs vs. Texas Longhorns | Can Drew Timme do it again? | Big week for the WCC Nov 16, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs head to Austin, Texas to take on Chris Beard's Longhorns in a true road contest. Mark Few's team isn't afraid to play big games early in the year, and today's show is a full breakdown of the matchup between the Longhorns and Zags. We discuss what happened last year at the Kennel, when Drew Timme dropped 37 points, and why this matchup could be a little different after Texas picked up a pair of high profile freshmen and multiple key transfers.

I also provide my five things to watch for this game, including Timme's role, how Nolan Hickman responds to pressure, Gonzaga's transition offense, and how Efton Reid could fit into the game plan.

Then, we close out the show discussing five huge WCC matchups coming up this week, including LMU and Georgetown playing in Jamaica, and a potentially season-altering opportunity for Steve Lavin and the San Diego Toreros.

Alex Toohey and Dusty Stromer give the Gonzaga Bulldogs a dynamic 2023 recruiting class Nov 15, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs landed a prized recruit in the class of 2023, Alex Toohey, who comes to Spokane out of the NBA Global Academy in Australia. Alongside Dusty Stromer, Mark Few's program has two big pieces set to help out next season.

Today's episode includes Jason Jordan of Sports Illustrated, who joins to break down Toohey's game and why he is such a great fit with the Zags. We also discuss international recruiting as a whole, and a few other targets for the Bulldogs in the class of 2024, including Dedan Thomas, Carter Bryant, and Zoom Diallo.

Finally, we end the show with discussion about Lisa Fortier's Lady Zags, who are 2-0 with wins over Long Beach State and Southern Utah. They play Wyoming on the road Tuesday before a big matchup with No. 6 Louisville in the Bahamas on Saturday, and we preview that matchup and discuss what a win would mean for this program before Thanksgiving.

Drew Timme dominates, Gonzaga defeats Michigan State | Gloria Nevarez out as WCC Commissioner Nov 14, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs stormed from behind to defeat Tom Izzo and the Michigan State Spartans, 64-63, behind a monster night from Drew Timme and stellar coaching from Mark Few in the second half.

Today's episode is mailbag Monday, and we discuss how to interpret this result for the Zags, who were losing for most of the game but still came away with a victory. We discuss Timme's performance, Nolan Hickman's absence in the second half, the emergence of Hunter Sallis as a true point guard, and how this team will do in the rest of the non-conference schedule.

Finally, we end the show with discussion about Gloria Nevarez taking a new job at the Mountain West Conference, and if that means anything for Gonzaga or the WCC.

Gonzaga Bulldogs vs. Michigan State Spartans: Breaking down the Armed Forces Classic Nov 11, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs are 1-0 with a big game against Tom Izzo and the Michigan State Spartans scheduled for Friday on the USS Abraham Lincoln, an aircraft carrier in San Diego for the return of the Armed Forces Classic.

Today's show is a full breakdown of the matchup between the Spartans and Mark Few's Zags. We discuss the history of aircraft carrier games, why Gonzaga fans are a bit uneasy about the situation, and even Drew Timme's recent comments about the conditions heading into the game.

I also provide my five things to watch for this game, including backup point guard minutes, Julian Strawther's usage, and whether we will see much from Dominick Harris or Braden Huff in this one.

Then, we close out the show discussing three other games Zag fans will want to watch this weekend, including two upcoming opponents and a look at a Big East coach playing his old school on Saturday.

Learn more about Alex Toohey, Gonzaga's latest international recruit and a potential future star Nov 09, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs are back on the international recruiting market, securing a commitment from class of 2023 wing Alex Toohey out of the NBA Global Academy in Australia. Mark Few and his staff went to the land down under and stole a prized talent out from under the nose of Randy Bennett, proving that Tommy Lloyd wasn't the only reason Gonzaga could recruit across the ocean.

Today's show discusses Toohey's game and Gonzaga's rich history of international recruiting. Then, we take a look at Kaden Perry's history and what we saw from him in a small role last season before he succumbed to a season-ending injury.

We also talk about Perry's future in Spokane. Will he step into a bigger role in 2023-24 following the likely departures of Drew Timme, Julian Strawther, and Anton Watson? Is he another late bloomer in Gonzaga's development machine? Or will injuries prevent him from reaching the lofty expectations he had put on him in high school, when he drew comparisons to Brandon Clarke?

Gonzaga Bulldogs blow out North Florida Ospreys behind 22 from Drew Timme Nov 08, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs are 1-0 after Mark Few's team defeated the North Florida Ospreys, 104-63, at The Kennel in Spokane Washington on Monday afternoon to begin the 2022-23 college basketball season. Drew Timme had 22 points, Anton Watson looked like the best player on the floor, Malachi Smith had 15 and six off the bench, and Rasir Bolton added 11 all in the second half.

Today's episode is a look at the good from Monday's game, including Watson and Smith's performances, Gonzaga's free throw shooting and team defense, as well as the bad - Gonzaga's three-point shooting.

In the second segment we discuss five key takeaways, including Hunter Sallis playing point guard, Gonzaga's unique four-guard lineup, Efton Reid's performance, and even a look at walk-on Colby Brooks.

Finally, we end the show with discussion about other games of note around college basketball, including BYU's near-disaster against Idaho State, Pacific surprisingly staying close with Stanford, Saint Mary's newest star player, and of course a look at how Friday's Gonzaga opponent, Michigan State, looked on opening day.

Bob Huggins thinks the Gonzaga Bulldogs would be in for a rude awakening in the Big 12 Conference Nov 07, 2022

Show notes

The Gonzaga Bulldogs begin their season with a Monday night tip-off against North Florida, but the big story remains the Big 12 conference showing interest in adding Mark Few's program, even despite the travel to and from Spokane.

Today's episode is mailbag Monday, and we discuss what a move to the Big-12 might look like, other programs that could come along for the ride, and Bob Huggins' recent quotes saying the Zags are in for an awakening if they joined the Big 12.

In the second segment we discuss Drew Timme, specifically what his role will look like on defense and how lineups with him and Julian Strawther will look defensively, and how he and Watson will be able to space the floor together on offense.

Finally, we end the show with discussion about Hunter Sallis' projected playing time, Gonzaga's losses before Christmas, and why we should remain optimistic about this team heading into the new season.

How Ben Gregg can force his way into the rotation for the 2022-23 Gonzaga Bulldogs Nov 04, 2022

Show notes

The college basketball season is nearly back, and Mark Few's Gonzaga Bulldogs are primed for another deep run into the NCAA Tournament. This year's squad features a ton of talent, including fan favorites, solid veterans, young guys looking to prove something, and incoming transfers ready to make an impact right away.

Falling squarely into the young guys looking to prove something camp, Ben Gregg is entering his sophomore season after spending the last two years (including his senior year of high school) in a garbage time bit role.

Today's show discusses Gregg's history and what we saw from him in those garbage time minutes, as well as the growth we've seen this offseason and in bits during Gonzaga's first two exhibition games. We discuss Gregg's best and worst case scenarios for this upcoming season, and how they could dramatically impact Gonzaga's season, both early on and in March.

We also talk about Gregg's future in Spokane. Will he step into a bigger role in 2023-24 following the likely departures of Drew Timme, Julian Strawther, and Anton Watson? Is he another late bloomer in Gonzaga's development machine?
