Host(s): The Chucker 

• Around the turn of the century, Casey teamed with the likes of Richie Frahm, Matt Santangelo, and Dan Dickau in leading the Zags to three consecutive NCAA tournament appearances. That streak continues today, as Gonzaga has made 21 straight trips to the Big Dance, a mark only bested by Kansas, Duke, and fellow 19nine school Michigan State.
  
  
• Casey was the 2001 West Coast Conference Player of the Year and followed that up with a professional career in Japan, France, Australia, and Spain.
  
  
• 19nine excited to have Casey here to reflect on that run and Gonzaga’s ascent as a premier college basketball program.
  
  
• Take The Kennel, your home court, off the table. What’s the coolest gym you played in?
  
  
• Team you least enjoyed playing?
  
  
• Team you took great pride in beating? 
  
  
• Most impressive opponent? (a specific player who impressed)
  
  
• Most overhyped guy you played against? 
  
  
• Guy you’re most surprised didn’t carve out a more successful professional career? 
  
  
• One Gonzaga teammate described you as a mellow dude off the court, but a guy who would run through his own mother to get a rebound. How accurate is that assessment?
  
  
• Coach Izzo at Michigan State plays the accordion. What’s something people would be surprised to know about Coach Few?
  
  
• At 19nine, we recently released the Gonzaga’s 1999 shorts as well as the Zags’ 2001 joints. Which did you prefer?
