Locked On Zags - Daily Podcast On Gonzaga Bulldogs Basketball

Khalif Battle picked Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs over Kansas State and Villanova, but will the former Arkansas guard be willing to come off the bench? And is that the right role for the high scoring 6'5 star?

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs secured a commitment Arkansas guard Khalif Battle this weekend, who picked the Zags over Villanova and Kansas State. Battle averaged 29.6 points over his final seven games with the Hogs, and his experience coming off the bench makes him a perfect third guard for this program.

Gonzaga Bulldogs forward Ben Gregg was inserted into the starting lineup by Mark Few and blossomed into a key piece for the Zags as they ultimately went to a ninth straight Sweet 16 last season. Gregg's development has been a big part of Gonzaga's success the past few seasons, and he'll once again fill a valuable role for the Bulldogs as the starting power forward next year alongside Graham Ike and Michael Ajayi.

The Gonzaga Bulldogs will host Arkansas guard Khalif Battle on a visit this weekend, with Mark Few hoping to land the high-scoring veteran guard in his final season of college basketball eligibility. Battle averaged 29.6 points over his final seven games with the Hogs, and he'd be a perfect third guard off the bench for this program.

Luka Krajnovic reportedly entered the NCAA transfer portal one day before it closes, leaving Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs without a backup point guard and with another open scholarship. Krajnovic showed promise down the stretch last season, and could opt to return to Croatia and play professionally or find another school to continue his education and likely land a bigger role on the court.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs will face Danny Hurley and the back-to-back national champion UConn Huskies at Madison Square Garden in December - and they will have a familiar face in the backcourt in former Saint Mary's guard Aidan Mahaney. Mahaney committed to UConn over Creighton, Virginia, and Kentucky, but we wonder if a new offense will allow Mahaney to thrive or if it will be a challenge for the rising junior.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs are in the hunt to complete their roster ahead of the 2024-25 college basketball season, and are looking at quite a few young guards either in the transfer portal or on the recruiting trail. We discuss the five top options, including Nolan Traore, Travis Perry, Wesley Yates, Rowan Brumbaugh and Emmanuel Innocenti.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs have reportedly reached out to Tarleton State transfer Emmanuel Innocenti, a 6'5 wing from Italy who averaged 6.6 points, 6.4 boards, 2.9 assists, and 1.7 steals last year in the WAC. With three years of college basketball eligibility remaining, could Innocenti be a developmental guard for the Zags?

Gonzaga Bulldogs guard Nolan Hickman broke out as a junior this past college basketball season, averaging a career-high 14 points per game while shooting over 40% from three. He adjusted seamlessly to a shooting guard role, making room for Ryan Nembhard to step in and lead Mark Few's offense.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs offered a preferred walk-on spot on the roster to North Kitsap guard Cade Orness. Orness is a 6'5 guard and the all-time leading scorer at North Kitsap, and he helped take down Anacortes and 2025 Gonzaga target Davis Fogle in the 2A State Playoffs. Could Orness develop into a legit contributor for Few and the Zags?

Locked On Zags podcast is the daily podcast that keeps you ahead of the games and the first to know the latest news, analysis, and insider info for the Gonzaga Bulldogs.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs made an offer to 2025 guard Davis Fogle, the top ranked player in the state of Washington. Fogle grew two inches since we last discussed him, standing at 6'7 before he heads to Compass Prep in Arizona to finish his high school career. Will he ultimately return to Spokane to play for the Zags?

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs made an offer to 2026 center Sam Funches, the top ranked big man in his class and a top 10 prospect overall according to 247Sports. The Missouri native is 6'10 with a huge wingspan and outside shooting touch, making him a highly coveted prospect already. Can Few and the Zags bring him to Spokane?

Gonzaga Bulldogs guard Luka Krajnovic appeared in 16 games as a freshman, missing about six weeks with a hand injury and ultimately never quite cracking Mark Few's rotation behind talented guards Ryan Nembhard and Nolan Hickman. Still, the Croatian guard showed flashes of why he could be a big piece for the Zags down the line.

Gonzaga Bulldogs guard Brynna Maxwell joins the show to discuss getting selected 13th overall in the 2024 WNBA draft by the Chicago Sky, as well as her final season in Spokane, the dominance of Lisa Fortier's team, beating Utah to advance to the Sweet 16, and what it means to get drafted alongside teammate Kaylynne Truong who went eight picks later to the Washington Mystics.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs offered 2024 French guard prospect Nolan Traore, and he recently dominated at the Nike Hoops Summit in Portland. Traore is playing professionally in France, and the 17-year-old may not even come to play college basketball at all, but if he does he would be a perfect fit as a pick and roll guard in Gonzaga's system.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs are once again involved in the recruitment of 2024 guard and McDonald's All-American Trent Perry, who decommitted from USC after coach Andy Enfield left for the job at SMU. The Zags will have plenty of competition for Perry, but if he's willing to spend a year learning from Ryan Nembhard he could have a huge breakout sophomore season in Spokane.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs have four games remaining in a six-game scheduling series against the Kentucky Wildcats, who are now coached by former BYU head man Mark Pope. Will Pope and Few continue the series, which is set to resume in Seattle this season?

Jun Seok Yeo's first season with the Gonzaga Bulldogs was quiet, as the South Korean forward didn't earn a spot in Mark Few's rotation and averaged less than seven minutes per game for the Zags in Spokane.

The Gonzaga Bulldogs pursued 2023 top 50 prospect Wesley Yates III out of high school before he committed to Washington. Now, after sitting the entire year with a foot injury, Yates has entered the NCAA transfer portal and he might be the perfect developmental guard piece for Mark Few's team.

Anton Watson represented the Gonzaga Bulldogs as a near perfect Zag: A Spokane kid who stayed the course, battled adversity in the form of injuries, and who ultimately stepped up for Mark Few's team when they needed him most by having a career season in his final year of college basketball eligibility.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs are reportedly in contact with Georgetown guard Rowan Brumbaugh after he entered the NCAA transfer portal. Brumbaugh is a 6'4 combo guard who shot 37% from three last year and who had previously spent a year at Texas redshirting before joining the Hoyas. The Zags don't have a bunch of playing time to go around, but Brumbaugh could be a valuable bench piece before stepping into a starting role in 2025-26 once Ryan Nembhard and Nolan Hickman graduate.

Bronny James has entered the NCAA transfer portal, could LeBron's son be a target for Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs? Similarly, LSU star point guard and Washington native Hailey Van Lith is also in the portal, could Lisa Fortier convince her to come home and play for the Zags?

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs are set up to be a top five team in the preseason AP poll ahead of the 2024-25 college basketball season. They have a ton of roster continuity with everyone set to return outside of Anton Watson, they are adding a key transfer portal addition in Michael Ajayi and will get sharpshooter Steele Venters into the mix as well. Plus, voters tend to overvalue continuity when doing the first preseason poll.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs reportedly reached out to former Kentucky Wildcat Adou Thiero, a rising junior wing who entered the NCAA transfer portal. Thiero had 15 against the Zags earlier this year, and his extreme athleticism and defensive skills would be most welcome in Spokane - but is there enough playing time available for his liking? That is the question we will be asking about any potential portal targets this offseason.

The Final Four is set and the NCAA Tournament field is down to the UConn Huskies, the Alabama Crimson Tide, the Purdue Boilermakers, and the NC State Wolfpack. Join the Locked On College Basketball experts as they preview the Final Four teams entering the weekend.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs are transitioning into the college basketball offseason, what are the key storylines for this program after another Sweet 16 run in the NCAA Tournament? Will this team lose any players to the NCAA transfer portal, and will they make any additions following the signing of Pepperdine transfer Michael Ajayi?

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs fell to No. 1 seed Purdue in the Sweet 16, ending their remarkable season and the career of Spokane legend Anton Watson. Despite the loss, this season was a wild success in the second half, and this team has an incredibly bright future with every major player outside Watson expected to return - as well as the return of Steele Venters from an injury and the addition of Pepperdine transfer Michael Ajayi.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs will have their hands full against Matt Painter, Zach Edey, and the Purdue Boilermakers on Friday in Detroit as both programs look to advance to the Elite 8 of the 2024 NCAA Tournament. But if Graham Ike can avoid foul trouble, Ryan Nembhard can run that short pick and roll which was lethal against Kentucky and Kansas, and the Zags can shoot better than 6-32 from three, this team could take down a top seed and advance to the Elite Eight for the second year in a row.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs are much improved from when they last played the Purdue Boilermakers in the Maui Invitational in November, but Matt Painter's team is improved as well - and it all starts with the big man in the middle in Zach Edey. Edey has improved on his National Player of the Year campaign from 2022-23, although a big part of that has been the growth of guards Braden Smith and Fletcher Loyer who each improved their three point shooting percentage dramatically this season.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs already added a player via the NCAA transfer portal to next year's roster in former Pepperdine guard Michael Ajayi. Ajayi averaged 17 points and 10 rebounds last year for Lorenzo Romar's team, and the Washington native will likely slot right in to a role on the wing for the Zags. What does his addition mean for Steele Venters and Dusty Stromer, and how much more action will we see in the transfer portal this offseason?

The NCAA Tournament has seen a lot of chalk to this point with the four one seeds in UConn Houston, Purdue, and North Carolina staying in tact. How did we get here and which number 1 seed is the most vulnerable in the Sweet Sixteen? Can San Diego State, Illinois, Iowa State, Alabama, Clemson, Arizona, Creighton, Tennessee, Gonzaga, NC State, Marquette or Duke crash the party and make it to the Final Four? An in depth look into the teams remaining from our hosts of Locked On College Basketball...

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs didn't even look like an NCAA Tournament team for part of the college basketball season, but now they are not only in the Sweet 16 but they have a real chance to stun the world and win a national championship. We discuss reasons why they can win it all (Ryan Nembhard's recent play and Graham Ike's dominance) and what might trip them up (foul trouble and three point shooting).

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs are in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament for the ninth straight season, tying Duke for the all-time record and doing so by defeating Bill Self, Hunter Dickinson and the Kansas Jayhawks by 21 points. The Zags were down one to Kansas at halftime, but thanks to a dominant performance from Anton Watson, Ben Gregg, and Nolan Hickman, GU cruised to an easy victory to keep the streak alive.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs will take on Bill Self and the Kansas Jayhawks, who snuck by 13 seeded Samford thanks in part to a controversial foul call which put Nick Timberlake on the free throw line in the closing seconds. Kansas is without star wing Kevin McCullar, how will that impact the matchup against the Zags?

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs were a trendy 12-5 upset pick against McNeese State - but a hot shooting start allowed the Zags to coast to an easy 86-65 victory. The Zags were 8-11 from deep in the first half, Anton Watson finished one assist short of a triple double, and Graham Ike was perfect from the field in the rout.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs are getting discussed as a potential upset waiting to happen as a five seed taking on a mid-major darling in 12 seeded McNeese State - what do they need to do to avoid falling victim to a classic NCAA Tournament upset? It starts with feeding Graham Ike the ball on the block, and includes Ryan Nembhard continuing to take excellent care of the basketball and the Zags making the Cowboys play at their pace.

The Selection Sunday committee granted Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs a five seed in the 2024 NCAA Tournament, and part of the reason was because of old WCC foe BYU, who got bumped to a six seed in order to accommodate their school policy to not play on Sunday's. Does that mean the Zags were overseeded? Not exactly, they are still higher in the NET and KenPom than multiple teams seeded five or higher.

Will UConn, Houston, Purdue and North Carolina hold true to their number one seed in the NCAA Tournament? Can Iowa State, Tennessee, Marquette or Arizona break into the Final Four? Cinderellas, upsets, betting favorites and those 5/12 matchups. Locked On College Basketball hosts, Andy Patton and Isaac Schade join Tenitra Batiste to help walk you through your bracket step by step to help you win your pool...

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs earned a five seed in the midwest region of the 2024 NCAA Tournament, where they will play 12 seed McNeese State in Salt Lake City on Thursday. This is a fantastic sign of respect for the Zags, and they could get a second round matchup against a beat up Kansas Jayhawks team and beyond that a rematch with Zach Edey and No. 1 Purdue.

SEC commissioner Greg Sankey is making it clear he wants the NCAA Tournament to do away with automatic bids and only feature Power-6 college basketball programs, a terrible idea that goes against what college athletics stands for. Not only would it dramatically impact the Gonzaga Bulldogs and the WCC, it would officially separate the big conferences from the rest of college athletics.

College basketball Selection Sunday is just a few days away, and the bracketologists are projecting Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs anywhere from a six to an eight seed in the NCAA Tournament.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs fell to Randy Bennett and the Saint Mary's Gaels in the WCC Championship game on Tuesday, 69-60, in another hallmark matchup in what is the best west coast college basketball rivalry, bar none. Graham Ike got in foul trouble and Aidan Mahaney dominated for the Gaels, while the rivalry led to a lot of tension and altercations.

The Gonzaga Bulldogs defeated San Francisco Dons in the WCC semifinals to advance to a matchup against Saint Mary's in the WCC championship - an incredibly common occurrence over the past two decades. The Zags did it thanks to a huge second half from Ben Gregg, as well as 18 combined assists and zero turnovers from Ryan Nembhard and Nolan Hickman.

The Gonzaga Bulldogs and San Francisco Dons will square off in the semifinals of the WCC Tournament on Monday evening, following the other conference matchup between the Saint Mary's Gaels and Santa Clara Broncos. Will Mark Few and Randy Bennett once again match up in the WCC title game at the Orleans Arena?

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs defeated the Portland Pilots at the Chiles Center Thursday behind a 20 point, 14 rebound game from Graham Ike, a big shooting night from Nolan Hickman, a huge first half from Ben Gregg, and a great game off the bench from freshman Dusty Stromer. Gonzaga turns their attention to Santa Clara on Saturday, who saw Adama Bal return on Thursday but shoot 0-8 from the field, and were without Carlos Marshall Jr which could be a huge factor for the Zags at The Kennel Finally, we close out the show discussing Yvonne Ejim announcing she is coming back for a fifth season in Spokane with Lisa Fortier and the Lady Zags, as well as the disappointing news that Bree Salenbien tore her ACL for the third time and is contemplating stepping away from basketball.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs take on the Portland Pilots at the Chiles Center Thursday, and it sounds like Shantay Legans' squad will once again be without star freshman guard Tyler Harris. Can the Zags dominate like they did at home a few weeks ago? Will Dusty Stromer build some confidence with a big game, and will Ben Gregg put on a show in his home city? Lisa Fortier was named one of 15 finalists for the Naismith Coach of the Year Award, what would it take for her to win it? And more on Gonzaga's successful season so far and upcoming matchups against San Francisco and Pepperdine. Finally, we close out the show discussing Zags playing overseas, including teammates Filip Petrusev and Nigel Williams-Goss winning the Greek Cup with Olympiacos, Rasir Bolton thriving in his first professional season, and the joy we get in seeing Martynas Arlauskas succeed.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs have not landed a recruit in the class of 2024, but they are heavily involved with a 6'5 guard from France, Nolan Traore, who has been described as among the best players in the class. Traore visited the Zags and sat with Killian Tillie at a game in December, and spoke recently about his time in Spokane as well as his recruitment by Alabama and Xavier. We discuss Gonzaga's 2025 targets as well, including Julius Halaifonua, Davis Fogle, Isiah Harwell, and Nik Khamenia, and what could be an incredibly special 2025 class if it all comes together. Finally, we close out the show discussing injuries to both Joshua Jefferson at Saint Mary's and Adama Alpha-Bal at Santa Clara and how those injuries could impact the Bulldogs down the stretch this year.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs received 99 votes from the AP poll, leaving them just shy of making it back into the Top 25. However, with a better overall record, NET ranking, and KenPom ranking than two of the ranked teams, it is clear this team is still having their early season struggles held against them by voters. We also discuss Gonzaga's NET ranking, how close Yale, USC, and UCLA are to giving the Zags more Quad 2 victories, and what the at-large resume currently looks like. Finally, we close out the show discussing Lisa Fortier and the Gonzaga Women's team, who climbed to No. 16 in the AP Poll and secured the WCC regular season title despite the closest game of the conference season against Pacific, who they were losing to at halftime before securing a 13 point victory.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs dropped 106 points on the Pacific Tigers behind 21 points from Graham Ike and another double double from Ryan Nembhard. Will the pair of wins this week bring the Zags back into the AP Top 25? We discuss Gonzaga's win and more on today's Mailbag edition of the podcast, including: Dusty Stromer's recent struggles and how important he is for GU Gonzaga's hot outside shooting and if it can continue against USF and SMC Which projected top seeds the Zags match up the best against Whether the Zag women will face Oregon State again and what seed they could earn Zag baseball's series loss to UCLA And more!

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs secured a 17 point victory over the LMU Lions on Thursday, despite a sloppy first half and a herculean effort from Will Johnston. Ryan Nembhard was masterful as well, dropping 16 points on 7-11 shooting along with 11 assists. Meanwhile, the Zags bench contributed just two points, one rebound, and six fouls as the depth remains an issue. We look ahead to GU's game against Pacific on Saturday, and whether a win against the Tigers would be enough to push Gonzaga back into the AP Top 25, especially now that teams like Virginia, Indiana State, and Oklahoma have already lost. Finally, we close out the show discussing the women's team who were not included in the Top 16 reveal despite being 11th in the NET and the first women's program in the country to 25 victories. Then we give a brief preview of the Zags baseball team, who were picked to finish sixth in the WCC and who open the season on Friday evening against UCLA.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs take on the LMU Lions on the road Thursday, and they may not see former Zags guard Dominick Harris who did not suit up for Loyola Marymount in their most recent game. How can the Zags avoid a hangover and secure a similarly dominant victory against the Lions? It starts with Nolan Hickman playing like he did last time out. The NET rankings matter more for Zag nation than ever before, and we look at which games could switch from Quad 3 to Quad 2 or even Quad 2 to Quad 1 and how that might positively impact Gonzaga, while also being weary of San Francisco who needs to stay in the Top 75 of the NET. Finally, we close out the show discussing Yvonne Ejim who was named to the Naismith Trophy Midseason Team and how impactful she has been for Lisa Fortier's team, and preview Gonzaga's upcoming road games against Saint Mary's and Pacific.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs will be in the WCC for the 2024-25 season, where they will be joined by the Washington State Cougars and Oregon State Beavers. While OSU doesn't move the needle much from a men's college basketball perspective, the job Kyle Smith has done at WSU is incredible, and as long as he sticks around the palouse rivalry between these two programs will be tremendous. Now that conference play is winding down we discuss how the conference awards could shake out, with Graham Ike still the pick for WCC Player of the Year, while Braden Huff takes home sixth man of the year honor. Will Anton Watson get a major award as well, or will he once again be snubbed? Finally, we close out the show discussing each coach in the WCC and the likelihood they are still here in 2024-25. Will USF's Chris Gerlufsen get a Power-6 job like Smith and Todd Golden before him? How about Stan Johnson or Shantay Legans? Is there any way Pacific doesn't fire Leonard Perry after the season is up?

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs picked up their first Quad 1 win of the season when they beat John Calipari and the Kentucky Wildcats at Rupp Arena. While that win was not enough for them to climb back into the AP Top 25, they are getting closer with 50 total votes from the voters. Could they be back in the rankings next week? Saint Mary's climbed back in after blowing out bad WCC opponents, perhaps the Zags can do the same. We also discuss Kelly Olynyk getting traded to the Toronto Raptors, sending him to his home country and a team he grew up rooting for. Finally, we close out the show discussing Lisa Fortier and the Gonzaga Women's team, who climbed to No. 17 in the AP Poll with a pair of blowout victories last week despite not having Yvonne Ejim - who was instead helping Team Canada qualify for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, France.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs picked up a massive win over John Calipari and the Kentucky Wildcats on Saturday at Rupp Arena, thanks to a huge performance from the Zags frontcourt including Graham Ike and Braden Huff. We discuss Gonzaga's win and what it means on today's Mailbag edition of the podcast, including: How critical Huff's performance was to the Zags victory The coaching comparison between Few and Calipari Does this win secure an at-large bid in the NCAA Tournament? Ben Gregg's move to the starting lineup, Few's best midseason adjustment? When does Yvonne Ejim return for Zags? And more!

The Gonzaga Bulldogs head to Rupp Arena in Lexington to take on the Kentucky Wildcats in the second game of a six game series agreed to by Mark Few and John Calipari last year. The Zags are still searching for their first Quad 1 victory of the season, while the 'Cats have struggled as of late, particularly on the defensive end of the floor. In a crossover episode with Lance Dawe of Locked On Kentucky, Andy and Lance discuss the keys to this game, including Graham Ike staying out of foul trouble, Kentucky's bigs playing more defense, and Gonzaga's outside shooting. They also discuss the stakes for both teams, how different this game might have looked if it was played in November, and give score predictions for the battle on Saturday.

The Gonzaga Bulldogs did NOT fall victim to a classic trap game against the Portland Pilots, instead jumping out to a 16-1 lead and never looking back in a dominant performance for Mark Few's program. Braden Huff had 25 off the bench, Anton Watson added 20, and the Zags knocked down 15 three pointers, including nine in the first half, to secure a big win. Huff's confidence boosting performance is key for the Zags, but his defensive limitations still make him a tricky play on Saturday against Kentucky. This is more concerning with Graham Ike's foul trouble, as he only had seven points in this one and was forced to sit most of the second half. The play of Luka Krajnovic was another positive, however, as he has added to Gonzaga's depth in a big way the last few weeks. We close out the show discussing Julian Strawther's return from an injury, Corey Kispert reaching 2,000 career NBA points, and which Zags in the NBA we think might get traded before today's deadline.

The Gonzaga Bulldogs host the Portland Pilots on Wednesday evening, four days before they head to Lexington to take on the Kentucky Wildcats at Rupp Arena. Mark Few's team needs to avoid a classic trap game by feeding the ball to Graham Ike, working on the pick and roll with Ryan Nembhard, Nolan Hickman, AND Luka Krajnovic, and preventing coach Shantay Legans' squad from lighting it up from three, as they are top 50 in the country in made threes per game. We close out the show discussing the Dartmouth men's basketball program and the recent decision by the NLRB to grant them employee status - and what it might mean for Gonzaga, college athletics, and the foundation of the NCAA and amateurism.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs are in unfamiliar territory. They are 0-5 in Quad 1 games and many believe will need to win the WCC Tournament or else not make the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1998. But a closer look at the NET rankings shows a path for the Zags to still go dancing as an at-large bid, although they can't afford even a single other loss this season. We also discuss Domantas Sabonis, the NBA's leading rebounder and one of the top players, who was inexplicably left off the Western Conference reserves list for the 2024 NBA All-Star Game. We compare his resume to Karl-Anthony Towns, Anthony Davis, and Paul George to determine if he was snubbed. Finally, we close out the show discussing Lisa Fortier and the Gonzaga Women's team, who are up to No. 10 in the NET but still just 19 in the AP Poll despite a mammoth 65 point victory over Pacific last week.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs fell to Randy Bennett and the Saint Mary's Gaels on Saturday, 64-62, with a controversial missed out of bounds call at the center of the action. The Kennel also threw things onto the floor, dampening an already tough night with this display. We discuss Gonzaga's loss and what it means on today's Mailbag edition of the podcast, including: What caused the Zags to lose on Saturday, outside of officiating? Now is it officially WCC Tournament or bust if the Zags want to go dancing in March? Will the Zags earn a top two seed in the NCAA Tournament? Why Kentucky might not be such a tough game for the Bulldogs! Will the women's team even get challenged in conference play? And more!

The Gonzaga Bulldogs host the Saint Mary's Gaels on Saturday, another chance for Mark Few's team to pick up a huge Quad 1 victory over their heated rivals. Randy Bennett's team stumbled in the second half against Santa Clara on Wednesday, but they have won 13 of their last 14 and Aidan Mahaney and Mitchell Saxen are tough matchups for the Zags to handle. What do the Zags need to do to avoid their first home loss to the Gaels since 2018? Anton Watson is an x-factor, especially if Saxen can neutralize Graham Ike, but Nolan Hickman will be a key as well especially after he played such a great game against LMU on Tuesday. We close out the show discussing how important this game is for both teams and the respective at-large resumes and how the WCC could potentially get both these teams into the NCAA Tournament - and also make game predictions for this contest.

Mark Few, RJay Barsh, and the Gonzaga Bulldogs coaching staff are heavily pursuing multiple extremely talented high school stars in the 2025 recruiting class, in particular going after 6'5+ guards to give them added size on the perimeter. Isiah Harwell is the top target, and he has re-scheduled his official visit to Spokane after suffering an ACL injury. The Zags are also pursuing a top-ranked wing from Ontario, a 6'11 center from New Zealand, and a guard from Israel in the 2024 class - more proof they are still a major player in the international recruiting market. Gonzaga also has their eye on a local kid, Davis Fogle, a 6'5 guard from Anacortes who has shown interest in Gonzaga and is getting Power-6 interest from Nebraska, Indiana, Clemson, and others while rocketing up the rankings. Speaking of rocketing up the rankings, Nik Khamenia is now a consensus top 50 prospect and is still projected to land in Spokane, while Las Vegas center Xavion Staton is now ranked 22nd in the class of 2025 thanks to his incredible length and athleticism.

Nolan Hickman exploded for the Gonzaga Bulldogs on Tuesday, dropping a career-high 24 points in a blowout win over the LMU Lions and Dominick Harris, who struggled in his return to The Kennel. It was an unbelievably efficient night from Mark Few's team, who shot about 60% from the field, 46.7% from three, and forced a whopping 20 turnovers with 12 steals and nine blocks. Graham Ike had 20 points on 8-9 shooting, and the team even saw the return of Luka Krajnovic who had six points in his first game since early December. We close out the show discussing Chet Holmgren, who was named among the 41 Team USA Olympic candidates to represent the United States in Paris at the 2024 Olympic Games. Holmgren was also named to the Rising Stars Challenge, but his former teammate Drew Timme unfortunately suffered a fractured foot and is out indefinitely with the Wisconsin Herd in the G-League.

The Gonzaga Bulldogs host the LMU Lions on Tuesday evening, the same team that defeated them in Spokane last year for the first time since 1991. It is also the return of former Zags guard Dominick Harris, who is averaging nearly 15 points per game and will no doubt look to have a huge game against Mark Few and the Bulldogs. What do the Zags need to do to avoid a second straight home loss to the Lions? Graham Ike needs to play a full 40 minutes, and not just dominate in the second half, while Ryan Nembhard needs to avoid turning the basketball over against a team that rarely forces turnovers. We close out the show discussing Lisa Fortier and the women's team, who shockingly fell two spots in the AP Poll despite beating the best team in the conference, Santa Clara, by 37 points on the road! Are they being disrespected?

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs were down at halftime against a winless Pacific Tigers team, but a strong second half from Graham Ike once again willed them to victory. We discuss Gonzaga's two very hard to watch games last week on today's Mailbag edition of the podcast, as well as: Gonzaga's history of being down to halftime at Pacific, and maybe it's a good sign? Could more floaters be the answer for the Zags? What style the Bulldogs should play against Kentucky in February? What's a better option for Gonzaga, the Big East or the Mountain West? Will the women's team even get challenged in conference play? And more!

The Gonzaga Bulldogs narrowly escaped with a victory over the San Francisco Dons on Thursday at the McCarthey Athletic Center, 77-72, behind a monster game from Graham Ike and clutch free throw shooting from Ben Gregg. However, Mark Few's team struggled to generate any offense in the first half and, after finally picking up a ten point lead at the end of the contest, completely fell apart from the free throw line and nearly blew it - another frustrating result for a team that has been unable to play a full 40 minutes all season long. We close out the show previewing Saturday's game against the Pacific Tigers, who are 348th in KenPom after getting obliterated by Saint Mary's on Thursday. It's a perfect get right opportunity for the Zags, and could see the return of Luka Krajnovic to the floor.

The Gonzaga Bulldogs host the San Francisco Dons on Thursday at the McCarthey Athletic Center, and USF head coach Chris Gerlufsen joins to help Zag nation preview this heavyweight battle in the WCC. Gerlufsen discusses game planning against Gonzaga and their new three-big lineup, the Zags strength as a rebounding team and growth of Anton Watson, and how impressive Mark Few getting to 700 wins is and what he said to him after he texted coach to congratulate him. Gerlufsen also discusses San Francisco's 15-5 start to the season, how the non-conference schedule helped them prepare for the season, the way they are utilizing Jonathan Mogbo in the frontcourt, and the growth of transfer guards Marcus Williams, Malik Thomas, and Mike Sharavjamts. We close out the show discussing Oregon State and Washington State joining the WCC, Gerlufsen praises Stu Jackson for being proactive in helping the conference grow, and discusses why the Dons are hosting Gonzaga at the Chase Center and not War Memorial in February.

The Gonzaga Bulldogs host the San Francisco Dons on Thursday at the McCarthey Athletic Center, with Sean Farnham and Dave Fleming calling the game for ESPN. How can Mark Few's team avoid a loss the Thursday after beating Pepperdine and San Diego? It starts with defending star transfer big man Jonathan Mogbo, who has been a beast for coach Chris Gerlufsen and the Dons. This team boasts a top 40 defense and the Zags will need to avoid turning it over, and will want a healthy dose of Graham Ike on the block. We close out the show discussing Nik Khamenia, a class of 2025 small forward who has taken an official visit to Spokane but is now mentioning Kansas, North Carolina, and others in his recruitment. Cause for concern? We also discuss Tommy Lloyd, who wants a contract extension at Arizona but could be met with some issues with the university reportedly $240 million in the hole and recently firing their athletic director.

The Gonzaga Bulldogs have looked outstanding the past two games, and much of the attention has gone to Anton Watson, Graham Ike, Ben Gregg, and Braden Huff for their performances against Pepperdine and San Diego. However, the biggest key for the Zags recent success, and the x-factor for their quest to get into the NCAA Tournament and Sweet 16 once more, is Ryan Nembhard. Nembhard is averaging over eight assists and shooting 50% from three in his past five games, and that level of elite point guard play is what Mark Few and the Zags need to keep the streak alive. Gonzaga is still not in the AP Top 25, but wins this week against San Francisco and Pacific could be enough to get it done. We close out the show discussing Lisa Fortier and the women's team, who remained at No. 17 in the AP Poll after blowing out LMU and Saint Mary's last week. What could change for them this week when they go on the road to face Santa Clara and San Francisco?

Mark Few picked up career win number 700 for the Gonzaga Bulldogs in their 25 point win over the Pepperdine Waves on Thursday. The Zags were tied at halftime, but Graham Ike had 13 points in the second half while GU's defense held Pepperdine's big three to just three total points in the blowout victory. Few becomes the only active head coach with 700 wins at just one school with his friend Tom Izzo at Michigan State right behind him. Few is the fastest coach to 700 wins since Adolph Rupp did it at Kentucky in the 1950's, and we discuss Few's incredible loyalty, dedication, willingness to adapt, and recruiting wizardry to get this unknown program where they are today. After giving coach Lisa Fortier her flowers for win number 250 against LMU, we then close out the show getting ready for Gonzaga's game on Saturday against San Diego and what we want to see from this team, including more growth from Dusty Stromer, confidence in the outside shooting, another great game from new starter Ben Gregg, and more!

Mark Few is searching for win number 700 while the Gonzaga Bulldogs are looking for their first true road victory of the season, and both could come Thursday night in Malibu when the Zags take on the Pepperdine Waves for the second time this year. If Gonzaga can slow down Lorenzo Romar's big three of Michael Ajayi, Houston Mallette, and Jevon Porter, and if Graham Ike and Ryan Nembhard can have similar performances to last time, this should get the Zags back on the right track. Yvonne Ejim was once again named to the Becky Hammon midseason Award Watchlist after being a finalist last year, and this is the year she should win it. She was also named Player of the Week in Canada, alongside former Zag star Kyle Wiltjer. We then close out the show discussing former Gonzaga coaches who are head coaches elsewhere, including Roger Powell's first year at Valparaiso and how Leon Rice, Tommy Lloyd, and Dan Monson are doing at Boise State, Arizona, and Long Beach State.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs are having an off year, and there is growing concern that college basketball's new NIL laws, allowing student-athletes to be paid through collectives, is going to impact the team's ability to add recruits and players in the transfer portal. We discuss whether this concern is rooted in anything tangible, or if it is just a convenient 'boogey-man' for fans to blame for an uncharacteristically off year. Domantas Sabonis is having another NBA All-Star Game campaign, Chet Holmgren is still on a quest to win Rookie of the Year, Jalen Suggs is having a breakout season for the Orlando Magic, and Kelly Olynyk...found a dog? We then close out the show discussing which Zags in the NBA might be traded this month, including Olynyk as well as Rui Hachimura and Corey Kispert with the Lakers and Wizards, respectively.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs don't have any commits in the 2024 recruiting class, but they are involved with a handful of top ranked prospects in 2025 which now includes Xavion Staton, a 7'1 center from Las Vegas. Staton has been rising up recruit rankings and is now No. 39 at On3. He reportedly considers the Zags among the eight schools most involved in his recruitment, a list that also includes Kansas, Arizona, and UNLV. Alongside Isiah Harwell and Nik Khamenia, who moved up to No. 5 and No. 41, respectively, in the class rankings at On3, Staton would form a prolific 2025 recruiting class if the Bulldogs can land the trio - or even two out of the three. We then discuss the Zags officially falling out of the Top 25 for the first time since March 14, 2016, a span of 143 weeks that is the tenth longest in college basketball history and was the longest active streak, which now belongs to Houston at 75. What does Gonzaga need to do to get back into the Top 25, and how soon can it happen? We then close out the show discussing Lisa Fortier and the Gonzaga women's team, who fell to No. 17 despite blowing out both Santa Clara and San Diego last week.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs were one of 14 top 25 teams to lose to an unranked program last week, putting into perspective how bonkers this season has been all across college basketball. We discuss Gonzaga's loss to Santa Clara and place in the game on Mailbag Monday, as well as: What does GU need to do to win the WCC Tournament and secure a spot in the NCAA Tournament? Comparing this season to 2015-16 and that squad's path into March Madness and the Big Dance Is Graham Ike still my pick for WCC Player of the Year? Could Braden Huff break Drew Timme's scoring record? Favorite Gonzaga moments in the WCC And more!

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs lost at Santa Clara for the first time since 2011, their fifth loss of the season and a squandered opportunity after fighting so hard to get back into the contest. Anton Watson was heroic but he didn't get enough help, and now the Zags are going to be outside the AP Top 25 and almost certainly need to win the WCC Tournament if they want to keep their NCAA Tournament streak alive. Braden Huff had a nice performance off the bench but Graham Ike was a non-factor and Nolan Hickman had just four points, while the Zags shot a pitiful 2-20 from the three point line - continuing a season-long trend of futility in a critical area. We close out the show discussing a 2025 recruit from New Zealand the Zags are pursuing, and why their long run of successful international bigs could help them land this coveted prospect.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs are taking on Herb Sendek and the Santa Clara Broncos in their first road game of the WCC slate, a Thursday evening bout on ESPN at 6:30. The Broncos are led by a trio of 6'6 guards including Adama Bal, an Arizona transfer and NBA prospect who could present a matchup problem for the Zags. For Gonzaga to secure a victory and continue their 26-game win streak against Santa Clara, they'll need a heavy dose of Graham Ike on the block, to defend the perimeter well, and freshman Dusty Stromer will need to show out defensively in his first college game playing in his home state of California. We close out the show discussing renewed complications in the Pac-12 and Mountain West merger, and what it could mean for Oregon State, Washington State, Gonzaga, and the WCC overall.

Gonzaga Bulldogs forward Graham Ike is my pick for WCC Player of the Year after four straight games with 19 or more points and seven or more rebounds as he continues to be the most valuable player for Mark Few's team in Spokane. Award predictions continue, including Anton Watson as WCC Defensive Player of the Year, Ben Gregg as Sixth Man of the Year, Ryan Nembhard and Nolan Hickman both getting All-WCC nods, and Dusty Stromer being named to the All-Freshman team. We then close out the show discussing how the first week went in the WCC, including near losses from both Saint Mary's and San Francisco, how Dominick Harris is doing at LMU, Adama Bal's great start at Santa Clara, and frustrating seasons so far for Portland and Pacific.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs don't have any commits in the 2024 recruiting class, but they are involved with a handful of top ranked prospects in 2025 including Isiah Harwell and Nik Khamenia, who moved up to No. 5 and No. 41, respectively, in the class rankings at On3. We discuss the pair as well as Gonzaga's three other recruiting targets and why this program is willing to go all-in on 2025. We then discuss the Zags moving up one spot to No. 23 in the AP Poll and how they can maintain their spot in the top 25, despite not having a Quad 1 opportunity until early February. We then close out the show discussing Lisa Fortier and the Gonzaga women's team, who are up to No. 16 after starting conference play 1-0 with a win over the Portland Pilots on Saturday.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs dropped 101 points on San Diego to move to 2-0 in the WCC, thanks to a career-high 22 points from Ben Gregg off the bench, 19 and 8 from Graham Ike, and another hot shooting night from Ryan Nembhard who has burst out of his three point shooting slump. We discuss Gonzaga's three point shooting lately and more on Mailbag Monday, including: Is Dusty Stromer's development reminiscent of Corey Kispert's? Could Nolan Hickman be the Zags go-to guy in late game situations? Could San Francisco make the WCC a two-bid league? How do Oregon State and Washington State change Gonzaga's quest for conference realignment? And more!

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs blasted Lorenzo Romar's Pepperdine Waves at the Spokane Arena on Thursday, 86-60, behind another 20 point performance from Graham Ike and a great shooting night from three, including a pair of threes from Ryan Nembhard to break an 0-13 skid. Nolan Hickman also had an excellent night and the Zags played outstanding team defense in a much needed win to kick off 2024 and the WCC season. We close out the show previewing Gonzaga's Saturday opponent, the San Diego Toreros, who are led by a pair of junior guards in Deuce Turner and Wayne McKinney and who play at a fast tempo with a quality defense.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs are taking on Lorenzo Romar and the Pepperdine Waves to begin the WCC slate, a Thursday evening bout at The Kennel in Spokane. The Waves are led by Michael Ajayi and Houston Mallette and recently returned NBA prospect and brother of Denver's Michael Porter Jr., Jevon Porter, who could present a matchup problem for the Zags. For Gonzaga to secure a victory and continue their massive win streak against Pepperdine, they'll need a heavy dose of Graham Ike on the block, to defend the perimeter well, and to force Ethan Anderson into turnovers and get easy buckets in transition. We close out the show discussing Lisa Fortier and the Lady Zags, who are opening up conference play on the road against Portland, the team that beat them in the WCC Tournament last year. Can they exact some revenge and potentially go undefeated until Selection Monday?

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs streak of being ranked in the AP Top 25 continued this week as they finished 24th - the only four-loss team still ranked after Creighton fell out. Should the Zags be ranked over San Diego State, who beat them head-to-head and who only have two losses and are higher at KenPom and in the NET? We discuss that as well as a handful of other Gonzaga topics for a delayed Mailbag, including: Is the Steele Venters injury the biggest factor for GU's struggles? Will Tommy Lloyd ever be the head coach at Gonzaga? Is Mike Roth's departure as athletic director a factor in Gonzaga's weird non-conference scheduling? And more!

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs fell to 8-4 on the season with a loss to San Diego State in Spokane on Friday evening, just their 17th time ever losing at The Kennel. With an 0-4 record in Quad 1 games, and very few opportunities left, could the Zags be in danger of needing to win the WCC Tournament to even make the NCAA Field of 68? Will the team's streak of being ranked in the AP Top 25 end? After discussing the fears surrounding this team after the latest loss, we dive more into the on-court happenings from Friday, including Ryan Nembhard's good game overall but continued failures from the three-point line, where he is now 1-18 since December 2. We also discuss Graham Ike's 20 and 10 performance, Dusty Stromer's freshman mistake, and the simple fact that Gonzaga, despite many strengths, just can't shoot. We close out the show transitioning into the year 2024 and the start of WCC play and how Few and the Zags can right the ship this year, including a good start with a cushy schedule in January, more development from the team's freshmen, experimentation with lineups and different defenses, and how critical February's game against Kentucky now becomes.

The WCC is set to add Oregon State and Washington State in 2024-25, and we discuss whether the ESPN deal impacted the decision for the Beavers and Cougars, how this move might reshape the perception of the West Coast Conference, and what potential changes to the WCC Tournament and conference schedule might mean for the Gonzaga Bulldogs. We then discuss the rough season for the Saint Mary's Gaels and what it might mean for Mark Few and the Zags, who now have very few opportunities to pick up Quad 1 victories and could find themselves in a position where they have to win the conference tournament to even go dancing. Finally, we look at the non-Gonzaga and SMC teams in the conference, including an elite defense at San Francisco, another NBA prospect in Adama Bal at Santa Clara, Dominick Harris' quality start to the season for LMU, and the really ugly seasons so far for Portland and Pacific.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs are taking on Brian Dutcher's San Diego State Aztecs at The Kennel in Spokane on Friday, a potential Quad 1 opportunity for the Zags before they head into the new year and WCC play. The Aztecs are 10-2 and are led by a pair of transfer portal additions in Jaedon Ledee and Reese Dixon-Waters, and boast a top 50 offense and top 25 defense in the country per KenPom. For Gonzaga to secure a much, much needed victory, they will need a healthy dose of Graham Ike and Braden Huff on the block, Ryan Nembhard to play for revenge after losing to this team last year while with Creighton, and for the Zags to find a way to get the crowd engaged with no students in the building. We close out the show discussing Chet Holmgren's Rookie of the Year candidacy and why he is a better option right now than Victor Wembanyama.

Gonzaga Bulldogs forward Anton Watson is having the best season of his college basketball career, showcasing more offensive versatility along with his trademark defense. Is it enough for him to get consideration in the 2024 NBA draft, which looks like a weak overall class? We discuss the pros and cons of Watson's draft profile and look at other older prospects who are having success in the NBA, including UCLA's Jaime Jaquez and Dayton's Toumani Camara. Today is a delayed mailbag episode and we discuss a handful of other Zags topics, including: Should Gonzaga start Ben Gregg over Dusty Stromer? Are the Zags cursed when Spokane hosts an NCAA Tournament regional? What is the seeding ceiling for the Lady Zags if they go undefeated in the WCC? And more!

It's Christmas and Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs could use some gifts from Santa Claus. We discuss six things the Zags could use in the second half of the college basketball season, including good health to all, some good news on the recruiting trail, the magic touch (from three point land) and a little help from our friends!

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs improved to 9-3 on the year and 6-0 at home with a 100-76 victory over the Jackson State Tigers at The Kennel in Spokane on Wednesday evening. Anton Watson moved into second place in steals behind John Stockton in school history, while Graham Ike dropped 22 points and 11 rebounds and Braden Huff had another outstanding game off the bench. Additionally, we saw Jun Seok Yeo show more confidence offensively despite not playing until late in the second half, and Dusty Stromer nailed a pair of three pointers in another solid offensive performance - although the team as a whole shot just 27.8% from three while Ryan Nembhard went 0-3 as his shooting slump continues. Finally, we close out the show discussing Lisa Fortier and the Gonzaga women's basketball team beating the Arizona Wildcats in Phoenix to move to 12-2 on the year. Yvonne Ejim had 27 points, 21 in the first half, while Brynna Maxwell dropped 14 of her 17 points in the third quarter. The Lady Zags could go undefeated from now until Selection Monday, what kind of seed could that earn them?
