November 2006 ArchivesOn a night in which the atmosphere in the Kennel was as a flat as it gets in the usually raucous building the Bulldogs effort was also somewhat lackluster. Aided by a good first half by Derek Raivio the Zags pulled ahead of Portland State with a late first half run and made another late game push to win a closer than the score indicated game. ...If you read the injury and illness list for the Seahawks, you wonder how the heck they can keep going on. I can't remember a season where so many wierd things happened to so many players at once. It's crazy. ...Less than two days after playing in New York the Zags returned to the Kennel this afternoon and dominated a smaller and less experienced Idaho Vandals squad in all facets of the game on the way to a 76-51 victory. Gonzaga used another solid rebounding and defensive effort to pull away from Idaho late in the first half and early in the second half on their way to improving to 6-1 on the year and running the nation’s longest home court winning ... After a remarkable five consecutive wins and an upset of North Carolina, Gonzaga finally ran into a better team Friday night in the Preseason NIT Championship. Butler used their experienced guard oriented lineup to jump out to an early lead, hitting numerous three pointers, and then would not let the Zags close the gap the rest of the night. ...Led by the stellar play of Josh Heytvelt inside and a three-guard attack Gonzaga pulled off another upset, beating the second ranked University of North Carolina 82-74 to move into the finals of the Preseason NIT. In a battle of two young and extremely talented teams the Zags played harder and got a much more balanced team effort in order to beat one of the nation’s most storied programs and add another major upset to the Zag’s record. ... WOW. Did you get the license of that truck that hit the Seahawks Defense? 21....was that it? An interesting discussion came up during a recent afternoon editorial meeting: how much is too much when it comes to disturbing stories of child pornography? Using a quick start the Zags put away the University of Texas San Antonio early in the first half and used another late game run to extend the margin of victory to almost 40 points. Playing an overmatched and undersized team, Gonzaga put together another solid defensive and rebounding performance, while once again getting balanced scoring throughout the roster. ...The disturbing details that emerged late Friday morning about the Twin Lakes, Idaho man accused of child pornography led to sudden changes in our coverage plans. Every day, in every newscast, our goal is to stand out from the competition. That's not always easy when covering stories we know the other stations in town and the newspaper are all following. However, two reports during our 5:00 newscast Wednesday did just that. ...Behind a very balanced scoring attack and another solid defensive effort Gonzaga beat a persistent Baylor Bears ball club to advance to the NIT Finals next week in New York City. With two impressive wins in the Spokane Arena the Bulldogs earned the right to head to Madison Square Garden for the first test against a true powerhouse, the University of North Carolina. ...Gonzaga jumped the Rice Owls with an early run in both halves on their way to a dominating 88-50 victory in the first round of the preseason NIT. Once again Josh Heytvelt was fantastic for Gonzaga, leading the team with 25 points and 11 rebounds, and getting the sometime subdued Spokane Arena crowd into the game early with an alley-oop dunk on the Zag’s first possession. ...As a whole, I was very pleased with the newsroom's extensive coverage of Monday's wind storm. However, several people in particular deserve kudos for their efforts. ...The Zags were impressive in their debut against Eastern. The questions about who would step forward were answered by Josh Heytvelt and Derek Raivio. ...If you are a Seahawks Fan and you do not have a “man crush” on Josh Brown, you should. With ice water in his veins, Brown steps up with 9 seconds left and hits a 38 yarder in the rain and doesn’t even look that surprised when it went through. It not only went through it went right down the middle. This guy has been the only consistent offense of the year. Josh Brown is my MVP so far this season. My “man crush” on Brown does not detract ... Welcome Seahawks Fans. This new blog is just the thing you need to get quick news and perspective on our team. As a fan of 25 years and an avid Seahawks follower, I'll give you updates on the team as well as perspective on games, players, and the league. So sit back and join the tidal wave all the way to the playoffs. Speaking of waves, we are almost through the injury wave. Good news today, Matt Hasselbeck worked out with the tea... This is your opportunity to tell how you feel VA medical centers are being run, whether enough is being done to help veterans or what needs to happen. ...Coming into the season there was no doubt the Gonzaga Bulldogs had many more questions than answers. The Zags needed to establish an identity in all facets of the game and through two exhibition games it was still unclear if the Bulldogs would be able to sufficiently find ways to get the job done this season ...This post is a new addition to the KREM.com Blogger. On a regular basis, I will give you an inside perspective on the many content decisions we make in our newsroom every day. As always, your feedback is welcome and appreciated (yes, even complaints). ...Tonight is the night. Eight months after the NCAA Tournament loss to UCLA, the Bulldogs are back on the court with a new feel. Almost 50 points a game have moved on to the professional ranks, and now the coaching staff is looking to see who will lead the team this season. ...With opening night for the 2006-2007 Gonzaga Bulldogs only a day away I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and give Zags fans a brief preview of what my blog will entail this season. I played basketball at Gonzaga from 2000-2001 through 2004-2005, and I currently reside in Spokane and follow the Zags closely. ...Life without Adam Morrison, JP Batista, and Erroll Knight began at The Kennel last night. No big surprise.. the Zags looked a little out of sorts at the beginning of Wednesday's game against Augustana College. ... |
