@CGForsman How are the inconsistencies and patchworks anyone’s fault but their own, though?

Huge shouts to @TheoLawson_SR for the TGF play-by-play from Spokane. I am currently teaching 7th and 8th graders in Japan who do not know what a waiver is but are now chanting for Tyon's eligibility because I simply cannot focus on curricula today.

[MT Smith @MSmith82533]

Making sure my high school students here in Japan understand the severity of the TGF situation.

@rpay10 @slipperstillfit I haven’t seen anything concrete aside from some Wisconsin fans being pretty convinced. Huff would be a huge loss , especially with Ike’s status still unconfirmed.

The Plan? Not play our best player all season. Make it seem like we are going to miss the tournament. Then unleash Ismalia Diagne to get revenge for Nash night.

[MT Smith @MSmith82533]

@ydfished @slipperstillfit that’s a very fair assessment. I dunno that they need to play more physical D, but they need to improve their one-on-one perimeter coverage. They’ve just been turnstiles lately. Getting cooked up top means the help defense has to collapse in and it leave the wings wide open.

Before you go to your computer to add your insults, pause and ask yourself if this is how you treat people? Few doesn’t need to quit, these boys aren’t 💩. Trust me when I say after every loss they are way more disappointed then you. #bekind #gozags

[Austin King 🕯️ @Austin_king52]

To all of my Zag friends, I need you mentally prepare for the most fucked up junk defenses you have ever seen. You think Mick is a master of mucking it up? Wayne Tinkle was born in the muck. This man will make this game uglier than you can comprehend.

[MT Smith @MSmith82533]

USD had 28 made fgs and only 7 assists. That’s a lot of one on one ball. It’s not like they were getting clean looks from inside or wide open 3s. They just made a lot of tough shots that they usually don’t. Zag D maybe a little sluggish, but nothing to worry about imo.

Gonzaga’s looking GOOD 👀

[Gonzaga Basketball @ZagMBB]

These two🤞

[Joshua Schwader @SchwaderZag62]

Gonzaga jumped from 9 to #2 in Ken pom, defense improved from 45 to 25, and the Zags now have best offense in country. Welcome back college basketball!

[MT Smith @MSmith82533]

Some thoughts on a tough and totally meaningless loss to a USC team that’s gonna be better than anyone expected.

[MT Smith @MSmith82533]

Zags had dudes. Still do, but had, too.

Overlooked and underrated. I think he really shines this year, finally.

[MT Smith @MSmith82533]

@_mgregg50 @bengregg20 Thanks a lot! So glad you liked it. Go zags!
