I watched Gonzaga play San Franciso last night. Pretty much a ho-hum effort. I’ve now seen the Zags play four times this season and we’ll see what they really are once the Tournament gets here.
Keep this in mind, no program west of Waco, Texas has won a national championship in men’s basketball since 1997. There’s a reason for that. Figure it out.
I’ve changed my mind about attending the Thunder-Bucks game tonight. I think I’ll just stay home and watch the rematch of St. Mary’s vs. Gonzaga.
What I’ll be watching closely tonight is if Chet Holmgren can adapt his interior defensive game inside after all the points the Zags gave up in the paint on the March 4th loss to the Gaels.
I mean…if you get abused defensively playing in the WCC, then what is going to transpire in the Northwest Division of the NBA when you go against KAT, Jokic, Gobert, and whoever Portland is playing at center. These are the teams the Thunder play the most on their schedule every year.
What I’m saying is…is Chet Holgren in the NBA going to be like James Wiseman has been his first two years in the league with the Warriors?
OKC can’t miss on this pick. It needs to be a player who can play in the league for at least two contracts at a high level.
He obviously has some skills, but so did Poku when he was playing in the Greek B league where there was space and time galore every time he touched the ball.
Who would we say is the best NBA player Mark Few has produced during his time at Gonzaga? I’m going to research that tonight while watching the game. We know it wasn’t Adam Morrison and Jalen Suggs is having a very tough rookie season.
- John Stockton. How could I forget about the Hall of Famer? And Sabonis for crying out loud was the 11th pick in his draft class and has turned himself into an All-Star player once he got out of Oke City. Those would be top two unless I’ve forgotten someone else.
March Madness is here. I’m jacked.
Maybe… I’ll go catch Ja Morant and Steven Adams later in the week when the Grizzlies visit Oke City.
