Adam, Chris and Marty return for the tenth(!) season of Free Ira Brown with your complete player preview for the 23-24 Gonzaga basketball season. There are a lot new faces, and some big shoes to fill, but as Mard will tell you, through song, we believe in a coach called Few. All that and our Halloween movie picks on this episode of Free Ira Brown: THE Gonzaga Hoops Podcast. @freeirabrown Freeirabrownpod on Instagram

In which we over-react to lovely fall afternoon in Spokane. We're back BA-BY! 

Your Gonzaga summer update. All the news, the ins, the outs, the mystery! All that and stuff we love and love to hate about summer on this episode of Free Ira Brown! THE Gonzaga Hoops Podcast.

Free Ira Brown takes some time to review the season that was and look ahead to the season that will be. A Timme tribute, a Harris lament, and thoughts on what the starting line-up will be. See you all in season 10.  patreon.com/freeirabrown

The Free Ira Brown boys recap that last game, much to everyone's chagrin, but end with a discussion of our favorite moments from an up and down season of Gonzaga Basketball.  Support the show at Patreon.com/freeirabrown

In which we lose our shit.  Drew Timme is a legend.

Gonzaga advances to the Sweet Sixteen for the eighth straight year and Drew Timme leads the way again. We break down the first weekend victories and look ahead to the Vegas showdown against the Wieners from Westwood. We'll also review all the upsets from another exciting weekend in the NCAA tournament and discuss our fantastic weekend in Spokane. patreon.com/freeirabrown

The bracket is set, the die is cast. The Zags land out West, where they'll shoot it out with the Grand Canyon Antelopes before a likely showdown with the Horned Frogs of TCU. We discuss the match-ups, tell you what to look for and make our bold predictions! Do join us for a bracket and ball-busting discussion of the 2023 NCAA tournament, won't you? patreon.com/freeirabrown

Gonzaga wins another WCC tournament title with a wire-to-wire drubbing of the Gaels in Las Vegas. We celebrate, we deliberate, we masticate on another fantastic WCC Tournament showing by the Gonzaga men.  The ladies suffered a setback, but will look to make some NCAA noise anyway.  We close with a look ahead at some possible NCAA opponents as we anxiously await Selection Sunday.

Gonzaga closes out their 11th WCC Regular Season Championship with their strongest defensive effort of the year. Oh and they dropped 77 on the Gaels. We laugh a lot at SMC, and how they're terrible. Also, they are some tough dudes we are likely to face in the WCC tournament title game YET AGAIN. Join us for some revelry in the tears of a Gael and a preview of the WCC Tournament.

Gonzaga returns to the Mac after choke-holding an entire fan base at LMU and frustrating a feisty Pepperdine squad. When they get there, they'll welcome College Gameday for the biggest game of the season against the Hated Gaels. We engage in a constructive, reasonable, calm and not-at-all expletive-laced breakdown of the pending match-up. Then we spend a little too much time talking about all the Gaels we loved to hate. patreon.com/freeirabrown

Back in January, the LMU Lions handed Gonzaga its first home loss in a dog's age. This week, the Bulldogs look to return the favor. The Free Ira Brown boys break down the revenge game, but not before basking in the glow of a home victory over the Cougars of BYU by hitting a ton of free throws?! We'll take it. Also on the pod, the ladies whoop Portland, Vandersloot's jacket game, and why a 6 seed is better than a 4 seed. Support show at patreon.com/freeirabrown

We discuss the frustrating loss to SMC in Moraga, but find enough silver linings to look forward to the Zags' homecoming against USF and BYU. Also, we rap for a bit about epic badass, Courtney Vandersloot and her contribution to Gonzaga Basketball. patreon.com/freeirabrown @freeirabrown

After an ultimately comfortable win over the Portland Pilots in the Chiles Center (Thanks, Ju), the Zags welcome Santa Clara on Thursday, and jump in the jet to Moraga on Saturday to take on the Gaels. This is a biggie, folks. We'll break down these games and discuss the state of the conference with special guest, Will Maupin, of the The Inlander. Also, Mard shares his special feelings about St. Mary's in the only way he knows how.

Don't be intimidated by the run time on this one, Zags, because after we get down in the dumps talking about the LMU loss, out spirits are lifted by the one and only Greg Heister. We discuss the Zags, expectations, fishing, dog-sledding and Mark Few's surprising genetic fly fishing disadvantage. Support the show at Patreon.com/freeirabrown Twitter: @freeirabrown

The Zags escape from Provo after crushing the dreams of Cougars everywhere. We break down those final minutes, including Julian's iconic farewell to the ROC! Then, we talk about some home cookin' as all the cylinders were firing agains the Portland. We then look ahead to the upcoming tilts against LMU and Pacific. @freeirabrown

Gonzaga overcomes some uncharacteristic Timme troubles to eek out a victory on the hilltop, thanks to some Bolton heroics. We break it down, along with the win at Santa Clara. Was this the toughest road stretch of the season? Will BYU have anything to say about that? @freeirabrown on Twitter @freeirabrownpod on Instagram

Gonzaga opens the conference season with a dominant performance by Drew Timme and the lads in a 111-88 dissipation of the Waves. Next up is a tough road trip to the Bay Area for visits to USF and SCU. Adam, Chris and Marty give you all the info you need to predict Gonzaga winning those games. All this, and we are visited by a famed visitor from the East, Karno-ac the Magnificent! Support the show! Patreon.com/freeirabrown. @Freeirabrown on twitter @free_ira_brown_podcast on instagram
