Free Ira Brown! - The Gonzaga Hoops Podcast ·

2022/11/15

Spokesman-Review Gonzaga beat writer, Theo Lawson, joins the show! We exhaust all of our maritime puns, wax poetic about tingling Timme senses and generally gush about the lads' second half comeback on the USS Abraham Lincoln. If only the Persians had Drew Timme, they may have conquered Greece after all. With the Spartans vanquished, we look ahead to a big road challenge agains the Texas cows. Will Drew remind them of his 37 points in last year's match-up? We discuss that, before going on one final

The Gaels Don't Get It

Free Ira Brown! - The Gonzaga Hoops Podcast ·

2022/02/16

St. Mary's manages to ruin a perfectly good game of basketball, making their ultimate failure at the hands of our man Timme all the more satisfying.

We'll finish with a look ahead at Santa Clara, the bubble, and an appearance from our famed visitor from the East, Karno-ac the magnificent! @freeirabrown Patreon.com/FreeIraBrown

2022/01/24

Gonzaga pulls away from the Dons after a brilliant game plan falls short in the face of Holmgren's dominance. We'll discuss how it went down and look ahead to games against WCC bottom dwellers LMU and UP. Free Ira Brown uses a lot of statistics that we frankly, barely grasp.
