Free Ira Brown! Celebration and Lamentation.

This is, dear FIBbers, without question the toughest pod of the year. But as much as we hated to do it, hated to have to discuss it all, the Free Ira Brown crew (after a day or so of mourning) is finally able to discuss the events of Monday night.

Through deep breaths and long swigs, our heroes bravely tackle the loss to UNC in the national title game. What were the turning points, who showed up to play and how does it feel to get so close?

Those stories, plus take a brief look at happier times (re: the win over South Carolina), we discuss what this run does for the program and, well, we look back some more at what could have been.

And finally, considering there will be no more games for a while, we finish with a Top 3 that will surely fill the emptiness for the next six months.

All that and more on the latest episode of Free Ira Brown, THE Gonzaga Hoops Podcast. Come commiserate with us, won’t you?
