The Gonzaga Bulldogs vs. Washington State Cougars WCC rivalry will be EPIC! | WCC Award predictions
02/14/24 • 37 min
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?

Should Gonzaga Bulldogs be ranked in Top 25? | Home for Kelly Olynyk! | No Ejim, no problem for Zags
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.

Gonzaga needs to keep momentum going against LMU | Yale, USC, and UCLA could help Zags' NET ranking!
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.
