All Opponent Team ??

[bartruff1]

In the Decade of Excellence has anyone ever identified a All Opponent Team selected on the basis of their games against Gonzaga with consideration for their college career ? Given the Play Anyone Anywhere schedule and the number of NCAA Tourney Games the Zags have played , they have played against some of the very very best college players...eg...Curry..Stuckey... etc... It would be nearly impossible to pick the best 5 ???..

Wade...Rose...Curry....Roy....Durant.....so many...

Is it the best players that Gonzaga played against (Durant would qualify for certain) , or the players who played the best when they played Gonzaga (Durant had a pretty pedestrian game against us, IIRC)....

Off the top of my head (with a huge bias towards March games)...

G: Steph Curry (Davidson)
G: Wayne Ellington (North Carolina)
F: Kirk Snyder (Nevada)
F: Brian Cardinal (Purdue)
C: Omar Samhan (Saint Mary's)

Sean Singletary from Virginia

You bet...I actually had forgotten him....he was teriffic... I don't think I can put Samham up there....but....he has the numbers...someone (Nate from Idaho ?) should ask Few this question, that would be interesting....

The Glove

I believe Gary Payton made a visit the the Kennel... and wasn't very nice to Gonzaga. But that was a few years back...

O.T. Other pre-Decade performances include Doug Christie, Steve Nash, and Orlando Lightfoot. The Lightfoot performance was unconscious.

Darren Williams (Illinois)
Kevi Durant (Texas)
Brandon Roy (UW)
Tyler Hansborough (UNC)
Blake Griffin (Oklahoma)
Kyle Singler (Duke)

No way on Brandon Roy. He only played 2 games against GU. In his sophomore year ('03) he scored 12 pts. In his senior year ('05) he only scored 10 (though UW won the game).

[flutieflakes]

Two words: Jameer Nelson! (34 pts including the game-winner IN THE KENNEL).

[Puddy]

JAmeer Nelson and Delonte West.
