Have a great day, sports fans. . .

Anyone else watching Washington/Houston? Currently tied with about 5 mins left.

The announcers spent much of the first half talking about Gonzaga, speculating about if Gonzaga would win a UW rematch, etc.

Something about Mcdaniels' demeanor and apparent non-hustle or concern for teammates rubs me the wrong way. Supremely gifted and with a tremendous body for the game, but seems like a guy unlikely to maximize his natural potential.

[MDABE80]

Reno should be given a medal.....a gold one. Tireless, thorough, gives of his personal time and he gets it right. Super job. ALL Hail!! And Merry Christmas to him! And others!

[ZagaZags]

The Pac-12 really stinks.

[LTownZag]

Down goes #21 UW to Houston.

I expect Houston to be ranked, but UW to fall into the others receiving votes.

Bad for GU's strength of schedule, but UW looked very UW-ish. Blew a 14pt lead, and really only Stewart was their offensive presence. Mcdaniels disappeared and seemed uninterested. No points his final 32 minutes, lots of fouls and TOs.

[ZagaZags]

The WCC has gone 9-11 vs the Pac-12 this year.

Gonzaga 3-0
Saint Mary's 2-0
Santa Clara 2-0
Pacific 0-0
San Francisco 1-2
BYU 1-1
Pepperdine 0-3
Portland 0-1
Loyola Marymount 0-1
San Diego 0-3

My apology for injecting this here but didn’t think worthy of its own thread.

What? ESPN chose to air an old 5 year or older game between SDSU and the Zags last night. A game the Zags lost. It was from KO’s freshman year I think with Sacre, Gray, Monninghoff, Harris and Meech playing.
SDSU were very good that year, but I find it troubling that ESPN chooses to air a game from old archives like that for the current #1 ranked team in the country. Was that a DIS?

BYU had a quality win over Houston, without Yoeli Childs (20 & 10).

Cougs didn't have Childs first 9 games and still had wins over Houston, Virginia Tech, UCLA, et al. They lost very close games vs undefeated #15 SDSU, & gave Kansas a game til the final minutes.

Since Childs' return, they lost a heartbreaker vs Utah in OT, blew out a good Nevada team by 30+, beat UNLV 30+, & beat Top-25 Utah St.

BYU could very well challenge us for the League Title this year, I don't see them losing many games, no more than us tbh.

They have tall guards who can stroke it, good size (both frontcourt guys go 240lbs+), much more team oriented than previous "bombs away" seasons. Their entire starting lineup are comprised of sneaky 4*, Top-150 talents, which rarely gets mentioned.

Their starters match us in overall recruiting stars, if not more this season.

Have a feeling it will be BYU and Gonzaga with 2 losses/piece at seasons end, with that February 22nd game deciding League Champions. SMC a close 3rd.

McDaniels looked like a completely different player vs Houston, compared to Zags.

Always frustrating to watch teams/players give 110% vs Gonzaga, then a shell of themselves the next game. Just another example we have "arrived", opponents get 'up' to play us

MDABE and WenatcheeZag: Thank you for the compliments

Nope. Have seen it before over the years along with many other games. Totally random, I assure you.

UW didn’t look at all like a Top-25 team during the closing minutes. Isaiah Stewart played like a beast down low, but they couldn’t seem to score unless he was the one to do it. The guards made a series of sloppy turnovers and chucked some difficult, contested shots that missed badly. They couldn’t get a defensive stop. They failed to secure rebounds that went right through their hands. Houston played better team ball and came away with a win that looked a lot easier than the final score would suggest.

Duke - 75

The spread was 27. . .

[RenoZag]

Vols missing their senior PG, Lamonte Turner. . .Barnes will have a tough time making the Big Dance if this slaughter at the hands of the Badgers is any indication.

Big Ten will be a very tough conference this season. . .seems like it every year.

Starting to pity Cal. His team is awfully mediocre. Sestina the Bucknell kid is in his top 3 players. I thought Nick Richards was a one and done, like 5 years ago.

[jazzdelmar]

Happy for Cal. See avatar. But more dislike of Mack and the most crooked CBB program for decades.

[jazzdelmar]

Zags seem conspicuous by their absence this weekend. Just odd the #1 team isn’t playing.

I wish we had a "Montana" or "Oregon State" or "Utah State" type of team to play next.

I just think this team now needs better warm-up tests. They are way ahead of schedule.

imo, they've had their tests. i am good with them getting healthy in low pressure games at this point. feel injuries (particularly lingering ones) are much more likely to derail this team than a lack of experience with adversity.

also good with giving the kids a slightly longer christmas break, and having their first game back on monday rather than having a weekend game. i dig how few prioritizes giving them time away and with their families christmas week.
