Ben Gregg showed up to the start of fall practice looking noticeably more muscular and physically mature. It made me optimistic about his ability to contribute in the season ahead. Fast forward six months later and it seems that optimism was well-placed!
After an inauspicious start to the season that featured a DNP in the loss to Texas, Gregg came alive in his hometown of Portland during the Phil Knight Invitational Tournament. While the Zags lost to Purdue in the second round, that was the breakout game that earned Gregg a larger role in the rotation as he provided energy and production off the bench when Gonzaga looked listless.
