I managed to stay up for the whole thing.  And I thought it was a master class in coaching by Pope. We were dead in the water at halftime, and as the announcers mentioned about a million times, Gonzaga had won 175 straight games when they had a double digit halftime lead. I don’t know how overall talented we really are, not sure how we will fare in the monster that is the SEC, but I do know we won’t be outcoached or out worked in any game.

Pope has outcoached Duke's Scheyer and Gonzaga's Few in two  remarkable second halves. Give him a halftime break to digest his data and Pope will dissect your team like he did that grasshopper at Columbia Medical School.

Have you ever heard him talking to Leach on his radio show?  Mark spouts off these analytics in rapid fire succession, using abbreviations that Leach has had to ask what they stand for. He seems to know his basketball.
