Free Ira Brown! - The Gonzaga Hoops Podcast

Are we "homers?" Yes. Are we "Drinking the Kool-Aid?" Yes. Are our expectations on this squad "higher than Marty during the third encore of a Springsteen show?" Yes, and YES.

But tune into this week's episode and we'll explain why! This team goes 11 deep! And that's just at the wing! We'll discuss starting line-up shenanigans, lock down defense, Warley's warpath and the inevitable metamorphosis of Davis Fogle into McLovin'.

Delve into the depths of the TSU victory and explore the possibilities of a front line takeover against Oklahoma and Creighton, two teams with talented scorers but who lack reliable front court defenders. Then stick around for Crazy/Not Crazy, in which Adam fails to deliver the appropriate drops.

It's everthing you could hope for in an episode of Free Ira Brown: THE Gonzaga Hoops Podcast.

Gonzaga gets this Randy off its back with a gorgeously ugly win over the much hated Gaels in the WCC Tournament Final. We wallow in the tears of a Gael, join us won't you?

Unfortunately, the women's team was unable to tap into that Vegas Magic and Gonzaga legend Yvonne Ejim goes out on a sour note.

We have lots to say on these subjects, and so does our special guest STEVEN KARR!
