Been the top program out West for the last 5 years if not longer. Weird team-building style- Canadians and Euros.

UVa might clip them next week. If not, they’ll roll into March unscathed.

What happened to Dan Monson? He laid the groundwork for what Few has turned the program in to.

He went to Minnesota I believe and hasn't been heard from since.

I haven’t watched a ton of college basketball this season, but Iowa is the only team I’ve seen that has put social justice messages on the back of their jerseys. I find that extremely ironic, and I’m probably “canceled” for thinking that. Just an observation, though - not a commentary on anything.

Dan Monson is at Long Beach St. He was only Gonzaga's HC for 2 seasons so Few is the one who built that program.
Was just reading up on him - he was elevated to ***'t head coach in 94 under the previous guy before getting the head job until he left.

I'd argue that Few took it to the next level when he got his chance but he didn't build it from the ground up. Monson obviously didn't either but he had a hand in it.

Few has been on Gonzaga's staff since '89.

What are you talking about, dipshit? Few was there while all this groundwork was being laid. Did he have zero part in it the prior decade before taking over as HC?

Gonzaga/Iowa smashing the 170.5 O/U. Two teams that put up points and hope to do enough on defense to keep you from scoring.

Weird.

Monson had a big hand in building the Zags, he was an assistant for years, was responsible for recruiting the player that took Gonzaga to the Sweet 16. In his first year as head coach (97), he won the WCC. Second year made the Elite 8. Went 24-10 and 28-7 in two years. In 98-99 Elite 8 he beat #2 seed Stanford, #6 Florida. Lost to champion UCONN in the regional Final. Then he effed up and took the Minnesota job and the rest is history. He never lost less than 12 games at Minnesota.

Man what a couple of exciting games in the KHSAA football playoffs yesterday. Both went to OT, Franklin County went for the TD inside the 5 on 4th down instead of kicking a FG to force a 2nd OT. Had to be gut wrenching losing by a blocked PAT. LCA has to be still feeling it today.

Beechwood 24 LCA 23
Boyle Co 31 Franklin Co. 28 (Game was tied 7-7,14-14,21-21,28-28.)

Bowling Green / Owensboro should be a good one, classic great offense v/s great defense.

Not to jinx them, but come on Northwestern. 10-6 leading Ohio State midway thru the 3rd. Willie nervous right now.

Gotta love Justus' sideline role of having the M2M match-ups on a whiteboard. Solid contribution, tbh.

If we can keep shooting 80% from the field and 50% from 3, I feel good about our chances. We won the first tv timeout break.

Boy these refs love calling hand check ******** in the post but don't call gang tackle screens for ****. Looks like a god damned rugby scrum in there.
