James Bond: Time For Zags’ Few to Clean House

James Bond: I’ve been saying for months that there are serious chemistry problems on this team, although I did not necessarily use the term “chemistry” to be coy about something I knew. I think Gonzaga’s hoops program is a bit sick right now, so to speak, and I think this is perhaps the beginning of a long, but necessary, recovery. I think there is more to come before it settles back into being a dominant program again. Since the media must know what I am talking about, but they have chosen to not report it, I will also decline to go any further into this matter. However, I am, as a fan, getting very tired of seeing a massively talented team so severly underperform. Now this. I hope Mark Few cleans house.

DFO: I haven’t been able to figure this team out. They can knock of Stanford and North Carolina; yet, fall to Loyola Marymont and St. Marys. It was interesting that Gonzaga, sans Heytvelt, beat St. Marys Saturday night with blue-collar performances by Pendergraft, Kuso and Mallon. That lineup at the Kennel Saturday won’t scare anyone in the postseason unfortunately. On the other hand, how about the Cougars. I guess we should start counting down now until the time that Coach Tony Bennet is wooed away to a bigger program. But it’s nice while it’s lasting.
