Gonzaga BulldogsMember: WCC Record: W 16 – L 3 Conference: 5-0 www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/team/schedule/_/id/2250Roster:www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/team/roster/_/id/2250Leading Scorers:Drew Timme F 6’10” 21.5 Julian Strawther G 6’7” 13.8 Rasir Bolton G 6’3” 10.6 Anton Watson F 6’8” 10.1 Malachi Smith G 6’4” 8.9 Nolan Hickman G 6’2” 8.7 Ben Gregg F 6’10” 5.4 www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/team/stats/_/id/2250 The Zags 3 losses were all to top 25 teams: Texas, Purdue and Baylor. Wins include Michigan State, Kentucky, Xavier and Alabama. In the meantime, they are rolling through WCC competition but with close wins against USF (77-75) and BYU (75-74), the latter on a last second NBA 3 by Strawther. As usual, the Zags put a lot of talent on the court with newcomer 6’10” Freshman Ben Gregg playing nicely in his limited minutes off the bench. Hoping we can beat the spread and perhaps, with our overall best game of the year, give the Zags an upset scare. All our 3-point shooters need to be sharp to have a decent shot at an upset. This is our only game this week as schedulers may have figured we would be spent after time on the court with the Zags. Gametime: Thursday, Jan 19 at 6 pm in the Dog House (Pound?).

anyone know the last time we won at gonzaga? There was a time that Gonzaga wasn’t a powerhouse, but it’s been quite awhile. Since 1995, the Lions are 3-50 against the Zags, with all 3 wins coming at home. Gonzaga joined the WCC in 1979. For those first 16-17 years, they weren’t very good. But since then, it’s been a whole different story. Ever since its inception, the WCC has tended to be a league with an exceptional team on top and then everyone else. USF, Pepperdine, Santa Clara and LMU have all had their time in the limelight. But none of their streaks come anywhere close to Gonzaga’s 26 years. It’s quite remarkable what they have done. This year, the Zags are vulnerable. But probably not at The Kennel. They’ve already had a couple close road games in WCC play and I expect more. St Mary’s is close this year. I at least expect the next 6 weeks to be interesting.

Yep. I was at that game - played in Gersten. Great, exciting game. Our guards were better than theirs. The stands were full and there was a lot of noise! Last time we beat them. I’m guessing our last win in Spokane was during the Gaithers-Kimble era.

That was a great game to attend. Lots of talent on the Lions that year.
By the way, I do not see our game on Bally Sports on my cable guide. I see now LMU lists the game as on Bally Sports Network+ - that may be a streaming channel. LMU also shows the game on WCC Network.

Per the guide in my newspaper, the Gonzaga-LMU game on Bally TV is a delayed broadcast at 10:00 pm. I guess it’s WCC network for the 6 pm live game.

The last time we won in Spokane was February 7, 1991 when we defeated the Bulldogs 91–79. That was the season after the Elite Eight.

WCC network won’t work for Gonzaga games, apparently. I can watch the San Diego-Portland game, no problem. 🙃
Thankfully Jesse does a great job on KXLU.com

Pretty incredible we haven't won away at Gonzaga in over 3 decades! We were REALLY close in the WCC Conference Tournament final game in 2006...
