Episode Details

Gonzaga Bulldogs eye high-scoring Georgia Tech transfer Akai Fleming in a bid to strengthen their guard depth. Can Fleming’s elite free-throw shooting and late-season surge make him Gonzaga’s next breakout star? Andy Patton examines Fleming’s fit alongside returning standouts Davis Fogle and Mario Saint-Supery, exploring how his attacking style could inject new energy into Mark Few’s backcourt.

The show spotlights Fleming’s ACC production, analyzes his potential role within Gonzaga’s offense, and assesses the impact of a developing NCAA tournament expansion to 76 teams. Patton breaks down which programs are chasing Fleming and what his arrival could mean for the Zags’ roster construction—especially amid ongoing questions about Jack Kayil and Isiah Harwell’s future. Plus, a sharp look at how the expanded tournament might favor Gonzaga and the new-look Pac-12 financially and competitively.
