Sportswriter Jim Meehan and Zag alum/TV Broadcaster Richard Fox talk about the week that was in Gonzage University Bulldogs men's basketball on their weekly broadcast, brought to you by The Spokesman-Review!

Foul trouble was the theme of the weekend.

Gonzaga University's dominance upfront was the key in the win against the San Francisco Dons. With 19 free throw attempts in the last few minutes... and those misses, combined to be a problem with the Zags missing their their shots offensively and made the game closer than it needed to be.

Pacific University led by one at halftime...and just like last year, their undersized lineup hurt GU. Pacific got in the zone and were shooting the ball better, and the Zags weren't really hitting until the Zag 3 pointer dam burst which then changed how that game turned out. All five starter were in double digits.

PREVIEW of this week's games

LMU and the returning Zags may have some bad memories of their game last year and the streaks that ended. And then with St Mary's around the corner, it will be an interesting game as GU and St Mary's play completely different styles. St Mary's loves to slow the game down, guard the ball and the Zags want to drive and score. St Mary's uses their bench, they have a rotation and Gonzaga sticks with their starting five. It's really a must win situation for the Zags if they have any designs on winning or even tying for a league title.
