We discuss the frustrating loss to SMC in Moraga, but find enough silver linings to look forward to the Zags' homecoming against USF and BYU. Also, we rap for a bit about epic badass, Courtney Vandersloot and her contribution to Gonzaga Basketball.

After an ultimately comfortable win over the Portland Pilots in the Chiles Center (Thanks, Ju), the Zags welcome Santa Clara on Thursday, and jump in the jet to Moraga on Saturday to take on the Gaels. This is a biggie, folks. We'll break down these games and discuss the state of the conference with special guest, Will Maupin, of the The Inlander.

Also, Mard shares his special feelings about St. Mary's in the only way he knows how.

Don't be intimidated by the run time on this one, Zags, because after we get down in the dumps talking about the LMU loss, out spirits are lifted by the one and only Greg Heister. We discuss the Zags, expectations, fishing, dog-sledding and Mark Few's surprising genetic fly fishing disadvantage.

The Zags escape from Provo after crushing the dreams of Cougars everywhere. We break down those final minutes, including Julian's iconic farewell to the ROC! Then, we talk about some home cookin' as all the cylinders were firing agains the Portland. We then look ahead to the upcoming tilts against LMU and Pacific. @freeirabrown

Gonzaga overcomes some uncharacteristic Timme troubles to eek out a victory on the hilltop, thanks to some Bolton heroics. We break it down, along with the win at Santa Clara. Was this the toughest road stretch of the season? Will BYU have anything to say about that?

Gonzaga opens the conference season with a dominant performance by Drew Timme and the lads in a 111-88 dissipation of the Waves. Next up is a tough road trip to the Bay Area for visits to USF and SCU. Adam, Chris and Marty give you all the info you need to predict Gonzaga winning those games. All this, and we are visited by a famed visitor from the East, Karno-ac the Magnificent! Support the show! Patreon.com/freeirabrown.

After a brief discussion about the tune up against Eastern Oregon, the Free Ira Brown boys take a long look back at the year that was, sharing the best and worst, the flyest and the driest, and the most wonderful memories from 2022. We also take some time to look ahead at the WCC schedule and dare to make some predictions as to how this will turn out in 2023.

Do join us, will you?

Gonzaga's gauntlet of a non-conference schedule has finally come to an end. We've laughed, we've cried, we've yelled at the TV until we've passed out, but most of all, we've learned a lot about this Gonzaga team. They are growing before our eyes into a formidable basketball outfit. What better way to celebrate the season than to welcome friend of the show, Steven Karr, to discuss the highs and lows of the non-con season? We promise he's not replacing Marty permanently (unless he wants to).

We close the show with a reading of the Night Before Christmas before giving out our annual FIB Christmas presents.

Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays!

Gonzaga takes care of business in the Kennel with two home wins over top 100 opponents extending their home winning streak to 70. Lots of positive takeaways from this one folks, and the FIB boys discuss them all before sharing our favorite obscure Christmas tunes.

Gonzaga's tilt against Baylor seemed like it was in hand, but it wasn't. Are GU's recent frustrations indicative of the entire season to come? Or does the sky remain the limit for this team? Chris faces existential dread in this uplifting episode of Free Ira Brown. Also, we rag on the Huskies.
