    The Devils are in the Details

    The Gonzaga men opened The Kennel with an 88-80 victory over the ASU Sun Devils. We discuss the lads' performances, including another stand-out from Braden Huff and Khalif Battle. We'll look ahead to this week's tilts against UMass-Lowell and a true road game against future conference rival SDSU.  The ladies took on the chin (especially Maud), but will look to recover against Cal.  Stick around for some movie shenanigans.  Support the show at Patreon.com/freeirabrown.

    You're Bearly Even Trying

    The number 8 Baylor Bears rolled into to Spokane, brimming with youthful exuberence, and were promptly rolled out again, brimming with youthful despair. In what proved to be the most lopsided top ten match-up in a dog's age, Gonzaga destroys Baylor in the season opener 101-63.  We'll luxuriate in the lad's triumph and look ahead to their next match-up back home in the Kennel against the Sun Devils.  Meanwhile the Gonzaga Women likewise open their season with a big win over the Griz!

    Schedule This!

    What was it like driving home on the 10 after that USC "loss?" Well it was smooth sailing, kids, because that's an exhibition. Next on the GU calendar is decidedly NOT an exhibition as the Baylor Bears and Scott Drew make the trip to Spokane. Are you scared? Mard isn't.  We'll take a walk through the schedule, discuss our expectations and identify our favorite match-ups for the men and the women.  Support the show at patreon.com/freeirabrown
