Episode 415: Gonzaga, Pepperdine, & Portland previews29 Oct 202401:05:53

Is this the year? This is one of Gonzaga's deepest teams and returns most of a group that reached the Sweet Sixteen last season. Along with some key additions through the portal, the Zags might be set to finally win it all.

New head coach. New roster. The start of a new era of Pepperdine basketball? The Waves have had talent in recent years but not the desired results. With a new regime entering, will the results follow?

Year Four of Shantay Legans in Portland and the youth movement is on. With 11 freshmen or redshirt freshmen on the roster, there will be a new wave of faces for the Pilots. Can it get Portland pointed in the right direction?

Also, Grand Canyon hasn't even played a game in the WCC and they are already planning to leave? Reports are they have received an invitation from the Mountain West Conference and were a no-show at the latest WCC executive meeting. What does it mean for the WCC?
