Timestamps are listed below for efficient viewing:

1:20 - Gonzaga's big week with two road wins
"I'm intrigued by Gonzaga going forward, you watch them play.....I'm feeling like the Zags are dangerous here." - Dave Flemming

"You look at how Gonzaga competed against Santa Clara, then against San Francisco inside Chase Center, it was a leave no doubt the Zags aren't going anywhere type performance and are ready for Las Vegas." - Sean Farnham

5:18 - The West Coast Conference all-conference awards

7:57 - On the culture at Saint Mary's
"The empowerment of leadership within that locker room is something that has really impressed me year over year. That program and school matters to them. When you leave [as a senior], you feel like you are leaving something special." - Sean Farham

8:30 - On Augustas Marciulionis 

13:10 - WCC Commissioner Stu Jackson joins the show 

14:40 - Stu Jackson on the additions of Oregon State and Washington State
"It really added a lot of depth and breadth to the conference and contributed to a different level of competitiveness on a weekly basis."

17:30 - On the house settlement 

22:12 - Stu Jackson on what he expects in Vegas
"It's going to be a barnburner....a 5 of 6 seed can make a legitimate run."

25:00 - Stu Jackson on Saint Mary's season

28:05 - Field of 68's Jeff Goodman joins the show 

32:30 - Jeff Goodman on Saint Mary's
"Let's never doubt Randy Bennett. I say it all the time but he's probably the most underrated coach in America. When you go to his practice it is a clinic....trust me it is as good as it gets."

36:20 - Jeff Goodman on Saint Mary's postseason aspirations 

37:54 Seth Davis from Hoops HQ joins the show 

39:20 - Seth Davis on Gonzaga's legacy
"I think Gonzaga's story is underappreciated. I don't know of another example...Dan Monson going to Minnesota should've been the end of the story but it wasn't. It's a juggernaut and powerhouse and nine straight sweet 16's, I wouldn't be shocked in the slightest if it becomes 10.

43:25 - Seth Davis on Mark Few's leadership and the Naismith Hall of Fame
"It's an unbelievable example of what we mean by the word fit. He's doing it for all the right reasons and he's a competitor. I also would widen the lens to say that there are other pieces beyond the program like the university leadership. The fans. The boosters. The city, Spokane is perfect."

52:05 - 2025 Credit Union 1 WCC Basketball Championship preview
