    FAVORITE? It's time for Graham Ike to win Player of the Year! But will the WCC ice Gonzaga out?

    Will Graham Ike finally claim WCC Player of the Year honors as Gonzaga gears up for a Pac-12 move? Andy Patton examines the heated award races, weighing Graham Ike's dominance against St. Mary’s standout Paulius Murauskas, and questions whether the WCC will “ice out” the Zags in their conference farewell. Key questions include whether Mark Few or Randy Bennett seizes Coach of the Year, and how Tyon Grant Foster, Braden Huff, and breakout freshmen like Joel Foxwell and Ace Glass III are shaking up the league. Award predictions, all-conference team selections, and coveted All-Freshman spots are up for grabs, with in-depth breakdowns of each major candidate from Gonzaga, St. Mary’s, and Santa Clara. Andy Patton also spotlights dark horse contenders, defensive stalwarts, and sixth-man threats, all while previewing the Bulldogs’ upcoming clash with Washington State.

    Gonzaga's resume DIPS thanks to UGLY week from former opponents! | How concerning is this trend?

    Gonzaga Bulldogs slip to No. 9 in the AP poll despite boasting a 17-1 record—has their once-dominant strength of schedule now put their NCAA Tournament seeding in jeopardy? Andy Patton examines how disappointing showings from key opponents like Alabama and Kentucky threaten the Zags’ national perception and the impact on their NET ranking. Breaking down Quad 1 and Quad 2 wins, Andy Patton explains Gonzaga’s remaining schedule, potential path to securing a top NCAA seed, and why teams like Creighton and Oregon still matter for their resume. Plus, a spotlight on the Gonzaga women’s basketball team: Lisa Fortier’s squad rolls past Portland thanks to another breakout game from freshman Lauren Whittaker, but persistent turnover woes loom over their WCC title hopes. Are the Zags poised for a late-season resurgence, or are storm clouds gathering at the wrong time?
