Gonzaga Bulldogs beat TCU, make Sweet 16 for eighth straight year behind Drew Timme's 28 points

Gonzaga women's basketball guard Calli Stokes joins the show to discuss her experience at the 3X nationals with teammates Yvonne Ejim, Brynna Maxwell, and Esther Little, as well as the upcoming trip for the women's team to Greece and Croatia. Then, we discuss how this much experience in the offseason will help this team next year, what the loss of BYU means for the WCC and Lisa Fortier's team, and how NIL is impacting women's basketball and Gonzaga basketball.

Gonzaga Bulldogs guard Ryan Nembhard is not the same as his brother, Andrew, and we look at the similarities and differences after the former Creighton PG spurned Arizona and joined Mark Few in Spokane, of course following his brother's footsteps. We also preview this year's Gonzaga-UConn matchup at Climate Pledge Arena, looking at who is back and who is gone from Dan Hurley's national championship team. What other Big East teams should Gonzaga pursue home-and-home type matchups with? Why Villanova, Creighton, and Xavier make the most sense. We close out the show discussing conference realignment, with Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark exploring adding UConn as a member school. What does that mean for Gonzaga, and for the Big East?

Gonzaga Bulldogs guard Malachi Smith remains undecided whether he will return to Spokane and the Zags or if he will pursue a professional basketball career and forego his final year of eligibility, and he has exactly one week to decide. What would Smith's return mean for the Bulldogs? Would he start alongside Ryan Nembhard, pushing Nolan Hickman to the bench? What could it mean for newcomer Steele Venters and his role? What does it mean for freshman Dusty Stromer? Plus, what does Gonzaga's roster look like if Smith stays in the draft process? Would Gonzaga pursue a transfer portal guard like Zyon Pullin or D'Marco Dunn? Would Stromer step into a big role as a freshman? Could it spell more playing time for Jung-Seok Yeo?

The NCAA transfer portal is alive and well, and the state of California has a pair of players for Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs to pursue - UC-Riverside guard Zyon Pullin and San Jose State center Ibrahima Diallo. Pullin is a grad transfer who averaged over 18 points per game last year, and at 6'4 he'd be a perfect replacement should Malachi Smith decide to pursue a professional basketball career rather than return to Spokane. Diallo is a rim protector who could fill a valuable role as a defensive big, although finding consistent playing time might be tough if Anton Watson returns to a frontcourt that already features Graham Ike and Ben Gregg. We close out the show discussing Nigel Williams-Goss, who won a EuroLeague championship with Real Madrid, getting revenge after an injury he suffered during last year's championship kept him out until November.

The Gonzaga Bulldogs are still awaiting NBA draft decisions for Anton Watson and Malachi Smith, which will have big ramifications on what Mark Few's lineup will look like in Spokane next season. Today is mailbag Monday and we look at Watson and Smith's decisions, which non-Ryan Nembhard newcomer will have the biggest impact on next year's team, the potential to add Grant Nelson via the NCAA transfer portal, and the likelihood of South Korean newcomer Jung-Seok Yeo being a big time contributor to next year's roster. We close out the show discussing the struggling Gonzaga baseball team and what adding a football team might look like ahead of a potential move to the Big 12.

Gonzaga Bulldogs forward Drew Timme dropped 17 points and grabbed seven rebounds in his second game of the NBA draft combine scrimmage, showcasing a variety of post moves and even beating several guys down the floor in transition. Did he do enough to become Mark Few's latest NBA draft selection? Meanwhile, Julian Strawter opted not to participate in the scrimmage for a second year in a row. Did he land a first round guarantee, is he dealing with an injury, or could he be considering returning to Spokane for his senior season? We close out the show discussing Rui Hachimura having another 20 point game in the NBA playoffs, dropping 17 points in a perfect first half for the Lakers against the Nuggets. Rui's defense against Nikola Jokic has received plenty of attention as well, and he's making a big name for himself heading into free agency.

The NCAA transfer portal is alive and well, and the blue blood programs like Kansas and North Carolina are watching talented former top 100 prospects hit the portal and look for a new home - which could be in Spokane with Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs? Today we look at a pair of players the Zags could pursue, first a young rim protecting center from Kansas in Ernest Udeh, who already has interest from Duke, followed by a rising junior guard from North Carolina, D'Marco Dunn, who could be a great developmental piece for Mark Few's squad. We close out the show discussing the international trip our women's basketball program is embarking on this August, with stops in Greece and Croatia. Lisa Fortier's team is getting even more experience playing with each other this offseason, which should prep them for an excellent 2023-24 campaign.

The NCAA transfer portal window for college basketball closed last week, so we take a look at how each team in the WCC has done utilizing the portal this offseason. Have any of them had more success than Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs, who added Steele Venters, Ryan Nembhard, and Graham Ike? Can USF turn former USC guard Malik Thomas into the next Jamaree Bouyea? Will Saint Mary's add anyone? We close out the show discussing the three teams that have suffered the most via the transfer portal, including Shantay Legans and the Portland Pilots, Lorenzo Romar and Pepperdine, and another disappointing season for the Pacific Tigers.

Gonzaga Bulldogs forward Drew Timme and wing Julian Strawther each had testing done at the 2023 NBA draft combine, with neither posting excellent results. How much will average test results impact each of their individual draft stocks, and what can they do to change those narratives in the month leading up to the draft? We close out the show discussing Mark Few and Gonzaga agreeing to a two-year neutral site series against the defending champion UConn Huskies, first at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle this year and at Madison Square Garden in New York next season.

Gonzaga Bulldogs forward Anton Watson performed well at the G-League combine, but did not receive an additional invite to the NBA draft combine - so what does that mean for his chances of returning to Spokane for a fifth year with Mark Few and the Zags? And, what would Watson's return mean for the Bulldogs? Would he start alongside Graham Ike, keeping Ben Gregg on the bench? Who would be the fourth big, Braden Huff or Kaden Perry? What does it mean for freshman Alex Toohey? Plus, what does Gonzaga's roster look like if Watson stays in the draft process? Would Gonzaga pursue a transfer portal big like Grant Nelson or Connor Vanover? Would Huff step into a big role as a sophomore?
