The Bulldogs opened their season with an 86-71 win over Yale. Losses are to #2 Purdue, Washington, #5 UConn, San Diego State, and Santa Clara (77-76), the last not without a real fight.
They beat USF but have yet to play Saint Mary’s.
This season the Bulldogs are still very good but they are vulnerable. Should be another fun game on National TV.

Gametime: Tuesday, Jan 30, 8 pm at Gonzaga.

Bulldogs favored by 16.5

Lions will be playing in front of a larger crowd than they have seen recently. Hope they feed off the energy in the building.

[LIONS90045]

Looks like we may miss the start of the game again.
Have to check ESPN+

[LIONS90045]

Sloppy start!

[nbdlion22]

Why did CSJ start Will if Juice is healthy?
Not a great start

[nbdlion22]

Almost ten turnovers right at the media timeout.
What does this coaching staff do all week?
What in the actual @$!#?

[thx4leavinjimlynam]

We’re down by 10 with just under four minutes left in the half. We honestly could not have played much worse for 16 minutes, if we can somehow only be down by six or less at halftime it would be very encouraging for the second half.

[mmlion2014]

We need to stop turning the ball over, and get some stops. I know it sounds simple, but focus on the basics. Dom seems too antsy out there too. Also, Coach needs to do a better job of preparing our players and calming their nerves. C’mon Lions, let’s get on track!

[lmu2015]

If we want to win this game we need to force about 10 turnovers in the second half and make only 2-3. We then also need to protect the paint on defense. Rebounding is the only reason we aren't down 20. Alex and Hill are the only two guys who look like they belong on the court, Kele and Dom are going to need to step it up as well. Dom just needs to calm down, but you can tell Gonzaga is locking in on him.

1st half

The good: Alex and Juice ….and rebounding

The bad: every other player,

The ugly: 13 turnovers, 28-6 pts in the paint, dom harris return to Spokane

[thx4leavinjimlynam]

Does anyone know if we flew home after the St. Mary’s game and then flew up to Spokane, or did we go straight from Moraga to Spokane?

Granted this is a brutal back to back, but I agree that we just look timid and lost out there, other than Alex and Juice.

We can play so much better than this, we haven’t put two good halves together in quite a while, so hopefully we got it all out of our systems and we will bounce back this half

[LIONS90045]

We have no inside game just dribbling around the perimeter
That won’t get it done

[thx4leavinjimlynam]

And I really hope Harris gets going, for his sake and for his confidence for the rest of the season. We need him to have a good second half.

[LIONS90045]

Arguably, this is our worst game of the season against one of our best opponents of the season.
What else could go wrong?
