Zags Basketball Insiders Podcast (episode 18): NCAA bracket projections, Ike-Nembhard connection and WCC awards predictions

Gonzaga vs. Washington State in Spokane for the first round of the NCAA Tournament? 

Definitely a longshot.

But with the Zags and Cougars both rolling and seemingly locks for the tourney, it’s fun to think about a possible 7-vs.-10 matchup at the Spokane Arena. 

Bracket possibilities and seed lines are among the highlights of the latest Zags Basketball Insiders Podcast, featuring Spokesman-Review reporter Jim Meehan and TV analyst and former GU big man Richard Fox.

The two also discuss:

• Last week’s GU victories over San Francisco and Saint Mary’s.

• The unique connection between Graham Ike and Ryan Nembhard.

• Ike’s case for WCC player of the year, plus predictions for top coach, newcomer, defender and sixth man.
