The natural result of playing league opponents. RB and other league coaches have the benefit of studying GU tape over a period of years. They have a much better idea of tendencies, etc.

Dave cut his teeth on GU games for several years. I love it when we get him back.
#1 team in the nation vs. a good brand. It is televised--hence the timeslot.
Give Dan a break, he's a great Zag.
I am very happy for Ballo. I hope he keeps progressing, and I like the effort.
Ayayi is becoming one of my favorite players on this team full of favorites. He is always where he needs to be.
I just heard that with the various cancelations occurring, Gonzaga might be hosting BYU on Thursday.
That's an excellent win by BYU over #18 SDSU. Great for Gonzaga and the WCC as well.
The league just seems to be getting better and better.
I do like the idea of cherry picking the best of the MWC. But Boise...they have been a Top 100 team several times recently but have never won an NCAA Tournament game. Not much different than adding a...
Well stated. The WCC has been very, very good the last 3 years. With 5 teams in the current Kenpom Top 100, and even stronger in the BPI, the league is presenting multiple resume building games.
...
I very much agree. And Boise is struggling already. They permanently eliminated their baseball program this Summer to save money.

According to the article, it sounds like they were given at least a tacit response from the WCC that what you said--private, faith based institutions--continues to be the focus.
Although it is...
When was the last time the ACC didn't have a Top 10 in either poll? That's unusual.
basketball and other sports.

Great get! Love the respect he shows his Mom on Twitter too. Already a Zag at heart.
Just to reiterate, again; yes, Gonzaga dodged a bullet by spurning the MWC. It had a brief peak of being really good. The WCC has been, by every metric, significantly better on the court the last 2...
Great season, and yes, lost in many ways.
We sometimes take for granted what we have. Losing a post season shot with a Final 4/NC contender is brutal for anyone, but moreso for a Gonzaga, whose...
It's brutal for the WCC IMO. GU was a National Championship contender and both BYU and SMC had enough juice to advance a game, maybe two.
Tough to lose all that income.
Here in Vegas. Does anybody have the Mirage buffet code for Zags fans?
The WCC is getting stronger year over year.
It's been better than the Mountain West 3 of the last 5 seasons, including 2018-19 and 2019-20.
Gotta have a healthy Tillie for the tourney. Hopefully he continues to come along. Great kid, deserves a great finish.
Love a Top 25 conference matchup.
There are three Top 25 matchups Saturday:
#1 Baylor vs. #3 Kansas
#2 Gonzaga at #23 BYU
#14 Oregon at #24 Arizona
That is one thing that does seem to be forgotten. The league is getting better. Money has been spent on facilities and coaches and it makes a difference. As much as we've liked to complain about the...
One of the greats. We are lucky to have him as a Zag for life. Amazing young man.
This is what I'm talking about. You and your message board doppelganger spy don't see or acknowledge the growth.
Since 2008, the WCC has been a 2 or 3 bid league 8 times, and a 1 bid league 3...
The difference is that I believe our league is moving forward, not as fast as I'd like, but moving forward nonetheless (which is more than most mid major leagues can say these days). Measurable facts...
