    Seriously, in the tournament, if you can catch a Gonzaga game, do it.

    They play a fast style, and will burn you from the arc, or inside. And they will rebound well, because they have good rebounding big men.

    But what makes this team even more exciting is Dan Dickau, he's fast, he'll attack the basket, or pull up with a lightening quick release and bury a jumper. If Gonzaga goes anywhere in the tournament, they will go there because of Dan Dickau.

    And his fiancee is really hot.

    Dickau has mad game and a handle to boot. I'm watching some of this game vs. Pepperdine, and this guy is all that everybody's hyping him to be...possibly the 5th All-American.

    Problem is he's 6 foot tall flat...not a good height to be a shoot first, pass second guard in the pros. As far as the 'Zags go in the tourney, I honestly don't see them going past the Sweet 16.

    People may argue against the claim that they're in the WCC, but I think it's a big problem to face subpar competition throughout the whole season. They got blown out by the Illini in the season opener, and my boy TJ Ford took them to the wire.

    'Zags have been good in past tourneys, but this year ain't their year...IT'S THE YEAR OF TJ, FAST FREDDIE, BIG GAME JAMES, and ROYALE "with chesse" IVEEEEEEY!!! Hah...I wish.

    Pics of Dickau's fiancee?...Please?...lol

    Yeah, I had nothing against him until that bull**** flop at the end.

    Here's to hoping they're out in the first round.

    Puedlfor, you wanna meet up tomorrow night?

    I watched that Flop it was total bull he wouldn't last 2 years in the nba.
    reminds me too much of Bryce drew hes now somewhere lost on the bench in hornets land.

    I was laughing so hard on how the commentators were just praising him...comparing him to this person and that person.

    2nd round pick yeah I would say so
    1st round Hell NO

    He pulls those kinda flops in the Nba and judging by his size he will get rolled!

    I aven't followed him much, but ESPN analysts have him as a mid-1st pick, a PG who could step right in to the NBA and start immediately. He needs some work on his game (from what I saw last night, at least), but I think he's got a good future in the NBA.

    And you all should know where the flops came from!

    If Dan Dickau is on the draft board for that Toronto pick the Rockets get, then they must draft this kid. His addition could be the go-ahead for a Moochie trade. Having Dickau back up Mobley and Francis, instead of Moochie, would benefit this team a great deal more. The Rockets desperately need shooters to combat the newly implemented zones. To me, he would be a hell of a zone breaker -- and we know how much Rudy could use one of these guys right now.

    Honesty, I don't see what's so great about Dan Dickau. Yes, he has good skill, but I don't know what seperates him from other PG's at the next level. Not nearly quick enough to be an impact player in the NBA. If you want to talk about PG's, what about Kansas' Kirk Hinrich? He'll be the next John Stockton long before Dickau, IMO.

    He may not be as quick as, say Jason Williams, but the guy is not wearing bricks for shoes. The reason he'll be able to get by people in the NBA is not his quickness, it's his ability to change speeds--he's very deceptive with the way he does that--he'll set you up like he's going to start into an offense, and then just take off. Or he'll just pull from 27 feet out. That's a lot of room to work with to penetrate if your man has to come that far out on you.

    Plus, his girlfriend is REALLY hot.

    I guess you could be right about Dickau...But it's hard to tell with college players that don't have overtly superior athleticism. He could turn out to be a Steve Nash, but I just don't see him having that kind of a first step...

    Maybe she would become a Rocket's Power Dancer?

    To say she's hot would be stating the obvious.

    Kapaya! with a name like Dickau, she is no surprise...kinda like Dirk Diggler

    This kid can play in the show and so can the kid from Kansas, but high impact...I am not sure. I would draft him if he were on the board in the late first round. His stock will drop a bit, because he did not show like he was expected to, but drafting him would send clear message to moochie and his posse that things are a changing, so you better check with our draft consultant, Stevie!

    yesterday was another example why everyone should get off Dickeau's jock..he does not make the players around him better...he is a shooting guard trapped in a P.G. body
