Glory Hounds: How a Small Northwest School Reshaped College Basketball.And Itself.Almost a generation ago, a small school from the Northwest made its first noise in college basketball. For the first time, the Gonzaga Bulldogs won games in the NCAA tournament of 1999, going all the way to the Elite Eight. Then they validated their arrival with Sweet 16 appearances the next two years. Unlike other unheralded programs that have emerged to make national headlines, the Zags didn't go away.

Almost a generation ago, a small school from the Northwest made its first noise in college basketball. For the first time, the Gonzaga Bulldogs won games in the NCAA tournament of 1999, going all the way to the Elite Eight. Then they validated their arrival with Sweet 16 appearances the next two years.

Unlike other unheralded programs that have emerged to make national headlines, the Zags didn't go away. They have stacked solid season upon solid season and as they enter 2016-17, they boast an 18-year streak of playing in the NCAA tournament -- a run of success that includes eight straight years of March Madness victories.

A few years after the men's program took off, the Gonzaga women also reached unprecedented heights -- partly with the help of a fan base that couldn't get tickets to the men's games, but pushed the women to a top-15 national ranking in attendance.

"Glory Hounds" is the story of how it all came together at Gonzaga for both men and women, how it changed the school, and how -- in a turbulent time of here-and-gone players in college basketball -- it continues.

The Gonzaga story is woven deeply into the longevity of head coach Mark Few and his choice to stay at the school in the face of multiple offers to move elsewhere. "Glory Hounds" takes a close look at Few, his small-town roots and his decision to stay put.

The book explores the rise of Few's longtime assistant, Tommy Lloyd, and his recruiting acumen overseas that has made Gonzaga one of the most popular destinations for foreign players. It documents the almost zany events that led to the construction of a new arena on campus in 2004; the unforgettable season of Adam Morrison in 2006; and the heartbreak and redemption of Josh Heytvelt. It chronicles the redshirt-year growth that has aided the program, and it details the paradox that keeps Seattle from becoming a productive recruiting pool for the Zags.

Gonzaga's women authored their own rise to prominence, and "Glory Hounds" recounts that ascent, as well as the wizardry of the best women's player in school history, Courtney Vandersloot.

"Glory Hounds" is the first attempt to bind together the various elements that, in a span now stretching into a generation, have made the Gonzaga story so compelling.

No more migraines
I have suffered migraines for years. It was so bad in December 2025 that I begged my neurologist for help. He suggested several things that I was unwilling to try due to the side effects. However, he recommended I try 400 mg daily of Magnesium L Threonate. January 2026, I started the taking it. The first month only 3 migraines for the whole month after years of 3-4 migraines a week. Its May 2026 and I have only had 3 more migraines this year. I highly recommend this product for migraine prevention.

The best Magtein I have tried thus far
I take double the dose because when I double the dose it improves my ability to pay attention and I am less distracted. Yes I have ADD but no longer take Adderall for it. Being 56 years old Magtein really improves my memory and restored it to like new by ten days of use. Shockingly It woke me up from a light sleep late evening as memories rushed in and I have been taking it ever since. I have been taking it 7 months now and over time it has slowly but surely improved my short term memory so that it also is nearly the same as before. I have seen slight improvements in working memory enough to be encouraged It may become an advancement from a historical standpoint. This is my second bottle by Teraputics. I was taking 2 bottles of NOW brand per month for my memory and concentration because it is the cheapest but when Amazon ran out Teraputics is the product I decided to try next. But I like this brand better as it seems more concentrated or I should probably say more bio-available so I decided to by it and pay the extra money over NOW brand. I just wish it were cheaper. I am hoping to ask them for a deal if I buy 20 bottles in advanced as it is a must have for me. With this second purchase they included a free bottle coupon and not a buy one get one free. Right now I am very happy to get the free bottle.

Daily Intake on Label Confusing
Label was not clear regarding milligrams per pill. Title label stated 2000mgs per serving (of 4 pills), but “supplement label” states 4 pills is 144 mgs per serving as a 34% of daily value. Very confusing. Not sure which metric to go by for daily intake.
