@TylerLaFrance Context matters. He lost a top 5 pick to injury. I'd have given him at least one more year, if not two. He had two 5 star recruits coming in. There was reason to be hopeful. All the while you'd be giving Marcus Paige another season or two to mature. There's no obvious candidates.

@thetrue_dc I think they pulled the trigger too early. But winning just 2 NCAAT games in 4 years is gonna get you gone at a blueblood.

Can only hope GU and Zag nation would never rush BMike out the door like this. It’s crazy really

Already know I’ll be shocked at this UNC hire because I don’t see them landing any of the big names being floated. So I’ll offer this dark horse right now: Marcus Paige. He’s only a couple years younger than Scheyer was and rumor is he’s every player’s favorite assistant

Pretty skeptical that this year's ACC is much better than the ACC of the last 4, 5 years, even though the computers technically say it is

@Clayton772962 @Joe_Fann Oh so about the same or better as 350 other D1 programs who haven’t won in the last 28 years? 14 programs have won since 1999. It’s a pretty outstanding accomplishment to be among the 30 or so programs who have even made a title game in that time. Which the Zags have done twice

@Joe_Fann It is Groundhog Day with Gonzaga. Death Taxes and Gonzaga losing somewhere in the NCAA tournament. Rinse, wash and repeat. It’s the same movie for the last 27 seasons.

Gonzaga just doesn’t have enough quality guard play to make up for Huff’s absence. It’s Ike or bust every possession.

@paulwerner89 Graham’s in that Raivio, Heytvelt, Pendergraft, Pargo, Bouldin, Elias, Wiltjer/Sabonis realm of keeping the ship afloat. These unsung and underrated guys end up being my favorite. They’re the difference between the program we have and the other midmajors that go and come

Shout out to Graham Ike. He came to Gonzaga when the perimeter talent dipped quite a bit and kept the program afloat. Didn’t play with a single top 50 NBA draft pick* in 3 years and raised the floor of the team in a huge way. *probably did this year but as a freshman

@SKarrG0 These are the words of someone whom hasn't donated seven figures for facilities and development... Easy to ride the wagon standing on the edge Perhaps there would be more accountability in your magical world if you were in the trenches as I have been for 30 years ...

If the only way you can find joy in college basketball is winning a national title, you have no business watching the sport. Gonzaga has had like 4 (maybe 5) teams actually capable of winning a championship in their 30 year run. Plenty of joy has still been had in all 30.
Dave Grosby@Thegroz

So Gonzaga is not going to win a National Championship are they? 27 straight NCAA'S no joy. Only Tom Izzo at Michigan St has a longer streak at 28 BTW Michigan St has only won 1 during that stretch

Braden Huff on not being able to play in fellow forward Graham Ike’s final game: “That’s probably the hardest part about this. We grew up together here and made each other better every day. Knowing I couldn’t be out there and be his sidekick, it hurts.”

If you can’t find any joy in a group of 18-24 year olds overcoming a lot of adversity to grow as a group of players and people, while winning 31 games and probably maximizing their season, I can’t help you.
