AP rank is #8 pre-season which is pretty crazy considering it's going to be a rotation loaded with freshmen and transfers. I'm very curious to see how it all pans out.

That seems high though the scrimmage beating of MSU gives me some hope it might not be. Considering the youth on the team, I'll be very happy with a Sweet 16 appearance. Anything beyond that will be gravy and very dependent on matchups.

Brock Ravet taking indefinite leave of absence from GU. Not sure whats going on but that leaves GU very thin at guard. Unfortunate, I was looking forward to watching him play.

Hope he's OK emotionally

First game of the season vs. Alabama State tonight, 5:00 PM on ROOT

Pretty easy 2 wins. The team looks good on offense.

I have no idea how good Texas A&M is this year but GU beats them by 30 tonight. A&M struggled to score but I'm not sure if it was good D or poor teamwork on A@M's part. Regardless thats an SEC team that was throttled nonetheless.

Looking forward to watching this team progress. Seems like a lot of guys were dinged up tonight. Would sure like to see Tillie make it back.

A&M was picked to finish near last in the SEC by most experts. Yeah they are power five team, but they would likely finish near the middle if they were in the WCC. We probably won’t know how great Gonzaga is until they play that three game stretch against UW, Arizona and UNC.

Natethegreat · Nov 16, 2019

Yeah, I don't think that A&M is any good. Regardless it was still encouraging to see them go on the road and win like that.

Agree. A&M was a very poor offensive team. Not bad defensively though. And yeah, that 3 gamer gonna be huge. C'mon Killian, get healthy!

About to get a lot more real for the Zags. Good to see Tillie back and playing well (no surprise).
Man their shooting though, both from the field and worse, from the line, is not pretty. Guard play is not great which is no surprise. Knew going into the season it would be a weakness. Hate to say this, but if they face Oregon in the Bahamas, Peyton Pritchard gonna have Woolridge and Gilder for lunch and dinner.

Big test this week .... I'm still not sure this team is top-10 right now but I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

I feel the same on both accounts

hawksfansinceday1 · Nov 27, 2019

Sadly it appears that it's time to accept that Killian Tillie will never be fully healthy again. Guy has the talent to play the 3 at an all-star level in the NBA at 6'11" but I fear his injuries will keep him from ever realizing that promise.

Natethegreat · Nov 27, 2019

Yeah, its a real bummer for him just can't seem to stay healthy. Nice to see Kispert seems to be out of his shooting slump.

Yeah they need that too to keep teams from clogging the middle on Filip and Timme

Lots of injuries last night. Apparently the playing surface is not good. Tillie says he will try and play but both starting guards could be out.

Yeah I saw Woolridge go out but had no idea Gilder went out early in the 2nd half. Watson out too I'd guess. Tillie "will try" doesn't sound promising

Hell yeah

Zags just continue to prove they're a national powerhouse. Nuff said....Date with Michigan.
