The Spokesman-Review's Jim Meehan and former Zag/TV Sportscaster Richard Fox talk about all things GU men's basketball. The GU Bulldogs have x2 in the win column over San Diego and Washington State. Gonzaga was ranked 18th in the AP Poll and had moved up to 10th in the NET rankings. Fox and Meehan also discussed the flu that was affecting the team, with several players missing games due to illness.
Overcoming the challenges, the team managed to win against San Diego, with Ben Gregg having one of his best games of the year. In the game against Washington State, Nolan Hickman stepped up when Ryan Nemhard went to the bench with foul trouble in the first half. Hickman ran the point guard position effectively, controlling the offense without many turnovers.
Despite giving up size to Washington State's players, Gonzaga defended well against their interior scoring threats. After trailing early, Gonzaga took control in the second half behind efficient scoring from Hickman and adjustments to exploit mismatches on the offensive end. Upcoming games against Oregon State and Santa Clara. Jim noted that Oregon State has a strong record and a similar shooting percentage to Gonzaga -

The Spokesman-Review's Jim Meehan and Zag alum/tv commentator Richard Fox report on howGU Bulldogs know how to dance - you can't fake your way into a Sweet Sixteen. Zags are facing Perdue - both guys picked them to get this far, but the 21 point wins on the way were very impressive.
Recap of McNeese State game - McNeese tried to shut down the 3 pointers, which opened up inside game, but the Zags were always a step ahead. When the McNeese pressure had no impact, they had no plan B to try and take GU down. Fox breaking down the stats confirmed that the Zags did an excellent job executing the scouting plans and were prepared to play on both ends.
Kansas game was so high level on both ends throughout the game - because as Meehan tweeted "are you not entertained?" The Jayhawks were higher ranked with a few pros and all Americans, the Zags pulled away in the 2nd half. Zags shot 67% and Jayhawks shot 28% in the second half and the Zags were great at keeping the ball out of Dickinson's hands. GU's freshman did great with solid play.
Purdue preview - the way GU is playing right now is completely different then the last time they met. However, job one this time around is to try and shut down 7'4" Zach Edey...a bad night for him is a double double bc he's gonna score, but attention to the rest of the Purdue team needs to be paid.
The guys are predicting a win. Not a blow out game, and no one is saying it'll be easy, but the guys are calling for a W. -

WCC recap - GU went in 2nd seed, took San Francisco but St Mary's had GU's number this time around. Kept the Zags to low score, Gaels executed at a higher level and deservedly came out on top.
Talking about the NCAA brackets - with the South Coast Conference being a notch below the WCC, it doesn't make GU's Thursday game against McNeese any less. Promises to be a game.

Listen in as The Spokesman-Review's JIm Meehan and Zag Alum/TV Broadcaster Richard Fox give pregame prognostications for today's match up!
Momentum for GU looked different wrapping out the regular season. With the breaks between the end of the season and the WCC and then the NCAA first round...sustaining their 8 game streak, and having a successful games this week in LV, could really put them in good standing for the NCAA brackets.
Debating the picks for WCC select 10 player 'award team' for the season - GU got overlooked on the newcomer, defensive player and MVP. Hard to believe that Anton Watson will be graduating from the GU program without the Defensive player of the year. Anticipating tonight's game against San Francisco....as Coach Mark Few says "It's hard to beat a good time three times."
Santa Clara vs St Mary's is also going to be a great semi game tonight....Gaels are favored. How many of the guys' predictions worked out since Episode one of this season? Where will this team land in the NCAAs this year - are they an Elite 8 team? Tune in to hear what the guys think. -
The Spokesman-Review's Jim Meehan and Zags TV Analyst/Bulldog Alum Richard Fox share their prognostications on where the GU Team has ended up this season (latest poll numbers have Gonzaga listed behind Washington State at 19!) Zags assignment this week will be to rest before hitting the floor against teams they've been already...
Meehan and Fox go over the highlights of GU's wins last week. Best player int eh WCC conference this weekend was by far Graham Ike. WCC award predictions have him the lead for WCC player of the year as well.
The guys debate their choices for all the WCC honors - player of the year, defensive player of the year, coach of the year, newcomer of the year...if there were WCC podcaster predictors of the year, it'd be this pair.
Don't miss next week as the guys recap their calls in Episode one from this season! -

Past review of the "businesslike" Portland game that allowed the Bulldogs to prepare for Saturday night's game agains Santa Clara and their 'bigs.' All the Zags have moved through the season and grown, culminating in that game. It was such a special senior night for Anton Watson. Preview of the next x2 games against San Francisco and St Mary's with GU playing their best ball of the season.

Spokesman-Review's Jim Meehan and Zags Bulldog alum and tv commentator Richard Fox discuss how GU makes up a little ground each week in the brackets...they digest and discuss a ton of stats as the Bulldogs played with better teams.
Looking ahead to Portland - pieces aren't too bad as they are on their home court, but they may not be able to defend Gonzaga if the Bulldogs hit their outside shots. Santa Clara is Saturday night back at the Kennell - last time they met, GU lost in the end. Zags strength inside can help when the Broncos come to town.
Also of note at the Kennell is Anton Watson's senior night this week. Local hero, Swiss Army knife of a Zag, its so rare for a player in today's college basketball era to be a winner for the program over his entire career at Gonzaga. -
Insiders Jim Meehan and RIchard Fox --- give you all the latest inside info...
Zags beat the Quad 1 barrier this past week in Kentucky! They have gained some ground and its an uphill climb to be an 'at large' selection to dance in the tournament.
Net rankings moved them up a few to a solid 22 - AP Rankings they haven't hit the top 25 yet.
One game at a time.
Everyone's solid play in Kentucky showed in the win - everyone who stepped on the floor showed VALUE...and everyone had a moment -
Listen in to The Spokesman-Review's Jim Meehan and GU Zags alum/tv analyst Richard Fox conversation about the Gonzaga University Men's Basketball Team....
GU played extremely well against LMU, then ended with a bad scene with St Mary's on Saturday night. Zags fell to 25th...while the loss didn't impact their computer metrics, the brackets were updated and there were no Zags to be found. IT makes the "at large" path extremely difficult with no Quad 1 wins.
The week that was - domination against LMU which took both Jim and Richard by surprise. When you get rolled as badly as LMU did...in Division I, coaches shouldnt worry about effort, but that was what was lacking in that game. Both Zag Insiders were tuned out with 8 minutes left in the game....
But that St Mary's game...GU lost their way on both ends of the floor in the second half. That's not even counting the referee reviews...which did not cost GU the game. St Mary's had an improved game with solid match ups. Saturday overall was a great day for collegiate basketball.
Looking ahead - how will GU rebound after the St Mary's gut punch? - Laat meer zien
