Drew Timme and Julian Strawther are the most important players for a deep March run by the Gonzaga Bulldogs, but the ceiling for Mark Few's team will come down to the performance of Nolan Hickman - who has redefined his game this season and is playing the best basketball of his career.

Stu Jackson is the new commissioner of the West Coast Conference, and as a SeattleU alumni we discuss if that will factor into the WCC's future plans - while also discussing Jackson's introductory press conference and how his appointment will impact Gonzaga, who doesn't seem like they are going anywhere anytime soon after more comments from Brett Yormark of the Big-12 indicated they are waiting to see what happens to the Pac-12 before making more moves.

Finally, we close out the show discussing Baylor's loss to Iowa State, Marquette's narrow win over Saint John's, and the loss of Jaylen Clark for UCLA and how all of it could impact the Bulldogs on Selection Sunday.
