Ken Pomeroy shows love to Gonzaga and the WCC, and discusses Chet Holmgren and Drew Timme

Host Andy Patton is joined on today's episode by the godfather of college basketball analytics, Ken Pomeroy. Ken talks about how his vision for college basketball analytics 20 years ago turned into this go-to site for the sport, and his mentality to go create something that didn't previously exist. Ken and Andy also discuss Gonzaga's meteoric rise, as well as his recent article discussing the Zags record against Power-6 schools over the past five years (39-11) and how they are doing that against elite level competition, while absolutely dominating the WCC.Then, in the second segment, Andy and Ken discuss Chet Holmgren and the difference he makes for this team as they head into the NCAA Tournament. They also discuss Anton Watson and how hard it is to quantify defensive accomplishments in basketball, and Drew Timme and his case for the National Player of the Year - even though the national media has taken him out of the conversation.And finally, Patton and Pomeroy discuss the WCC and the season Randy Bennett and Saint Mary's have had, as well as the resurgence from San Francisco and a developing Santa Clara squad. Will the bottom half of the WCC catch up with the top half, and will that impact how people view the conference and Gonzaga in the future?A jam-packed, fun episode for Gonzaga fans!Locked on Zags - Part of the Locked on Podcast Network.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.
