Gonzaga is a mid-major in name only. They are a private school with no football. They made a decision to spend the money to compete with the P-5 schools. They have their own private jet and a huge recruiting budget. They made basketball the #1 priority. Unless UA is willing to do the same, we are what we are. Maybe if we had built a $60 mil arena instead of a football stadium it could have happened but that ship has sailed.

Kwan is leading the team at 84% from the line. Antino is next at 80%. Jimond is at 75%. If you take out the one bad game (EMU) they are each a few points higher. Our ability to make free throws at the end of games is big reason why we are on a big winning streak.
You guys need to have a little more faith in the team. There was no yelling in the locker room, there was no panic in the huddle. Just before the start of the second half Keith told the guys to just play our game and get some stops and we will win. He was right.
You mean Rodney Tetzlof wasn't good enough to make your list? What about Jon Ash? IMHO, Russel Holmes deserves to be on the list, after all his team did provide us with our closest NCAA tourney margin.
All you have to do is open an incognito (Chrome) or in private (IE) tab on your browser to get around the pay wall. Using that mode you can read as many articles as you want.
To get into Tommy Evans lounge you have to spend at least $2500 on Zips athletics. That can include priority reserved seats or above for football and soccer. There used to be free food but now they have a buffet you can purchase for $20. There are still free soft drinks and water. There is also a cash bar. I would estimate that around 7-800 people use it every game.
