This season the WCC figured to be in a down year. Gonzaga was bringing in 9 freshman and losing 5 experienced players. Saint Mary's was losing arguably the best player in the conference last year in Patty Mills. San Diego was coming off a disappointing second season for Coach Billy Grier. The lone bright spot figured to be Portland and it returning starters. Well, obviously the pundits were mistaken. I dont think i have seen a WCC as stacked as the one we are seeing this year...ever. Several teams have racked up quality wins over BCS conference schools. Here are the wins by team:
Gonzaga
Wisconsin W 74-61
Cincinnati @ 61-59 OT
Colorado W 76-72
(Barely lost to #2 Michigan St. 71-75)
Portland
Oregon W 88-81
UCLA W 74-47
#16 Minnesota W 61-56
#8 West Virginia (TBD)
Saint Mary's
San Diego St. W 80-58
(Barely Lost to #24 Vanderbilt 70-72)
San Diego
Oklahoma W 76-64
Stanford W 77-64
Houston W 72-65
Loyola Marymount
USC W 67-59
I Think this bodes well for the rest of the season, there could be a chance to have 3 or 4 WCC teams go to the tournament depending on the results from here on out. LETS GO WCC! and Moreover LETS GO ZAGS!
