Lions fouling like crazy by being aggressive on defense but hanging in there. Both teams shooting like crap. Afternoon games can be weird.

Okay, it's getting out of hand with about 5 mins left in the half. We are turning it over and they are finally hitting shots.

Yikes, Lions hit on 3 field goals in the last 11+ mins of the half scoring on 25 points and down by 22 at the half.

Lost by 30. I’m not sure what these games do for the program. Similar to us hosting Carver Bible. Is this a money game for the program? Otherwise, we need to play teams that prepare us to compete in the ASUN. Not necessarily teams on the extremes of that.

Otherwise, we need to play teams that prepare us to compete in the ASUN. Not necessarily teams on the extremes of that. Money and recruiting... Players want to play those teams when they can. On the money side, it may not be millions, but kif they pay they pay. The bright side is, we won't play anyone better in conference. |

Or blowout of non-D1 schools. I did find it interesting when their commentators talked about the knocks on Gonzaga in the media for scheduling non-con opponents from transitioning schools. They’ve also played Bellarmine. |

I did find it interesting when their commentators talked about the knocks on Gonzaga in the media for scheduling non-con opponents from transitioning schools. They’ve also played Bellarmine. I'm not sure where I even read it, but seems like I saw something about Gonzaga struggling to schedule non-conference games. For one, there isn't a lot of teams in the western US to begin with, relative to this side of the country. And two, of course nobody wants to go and take a beatdown. I don't mind playing a game like that, because you never know what might happen on any given night. That said, it also sucks to be the butt of jokes nationally when sportscasters show highlights and basically yuck it up. "Ha ha, Gonzaga beats Northern Alabama by 30". And yeah I said Northern, because it seems like there's a bunch of dummies out there that can't do the proper research and at least get our name right. Irks me to no end. Oh well. Hopefully it at least provided a little extra cash, and now we can focus on games we actually have a good chance of winning. |

From “10 Observations from Gonzaga’s Win Over North Alabama“ on SB Nation: 2. I may not have the basketball mind of Steven Karr, but I do wonder about UNA’s approach to the game. Their offense often consisted of taking a quick three, open or not, or an under 6-foot guard driving to the basket. The defensive strategy relied upon the commission of a quick foul, especially when the ball entered the post. Incredibly, UNA committed 25 fouls resulting in 23 Gonzaga free throws while the Zags only committed 9 personal fouls. At least it was exciting up and down the floor action. 10. For old rock and rollers like me, I was intrigued to find the campus of North Alabama is less than three miles from the famous Muscle Shoals Sound Studio. For those under 50, Muscle Shoals is where some of the best music of the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s was recorded. Aretha Franklin, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Paul Simon and Lynyrd Skynyrd were just some of the great names who recorded there. They had a great house band of back-up musicians known as the Swampers as verified by Skynyrd’s Sweet Home in Alabama lyric “now Muscle Shoals they have the Swampers and they been known to pick a song or two.” www.slipperstillfits.com/2021/12/28/22858060/10-observations-from-gonzagas-win-over-north-alabama?_gl=1*1xcf5jq* |
