Congrats to the Zags for getting to the Sweet 16. They have a rematch with UCLA. The Bruins have two guys who will get drafted in June and are peaking at the right time. Gonzaga pounded them in Pauley this year. I think this will be a tough matchup and a good game.
Meanwhile Wichita beat Kansas pretty easily. Two teams in our schedule made it to the Sweet 16 so that's pretty cool.

The Zags were clicking on all cylinders. Great game for them. Yes, the ucla game should be a good one.
I don't consider the Wichita win to be an upset. They were a lot better than a 7 seed.

Congrats to the Zags for the Elite 8. Unfortunately they pass us for final 8 appearances. I hate Duke so I hope they win. They have the goods to make it to the title game.

Well done Zags. I knew Karnowski was a bull but I didn't know he had eyes in the back of his head - those were some "no-look" passes he made under the basket! Go Zags!

Well, the WCC's season is officially over. No shame in losing to a very good Duke team. The Zags did what they could. Pang is was overmatched by Dukes athleticism.

Duke played well - I believe zero turnovers in the first half and very few, if any, in the second If Zag's bugs could have avoided foul trouble, the outcome might have been different but the Blue Devils were the better team yesterday Well done Zag's!

Gonzaga had their chances but they struggled with the pressure on their guards early in the game and it held them back. Gonzaga is very good but even Duke's guards are more athletic and equally skilled.
What's more amazing is that these powerhouse teams full of AAU guys keep winning. Have no idea how that happens.
That being said I went to the Sweet 16 and enjoyed the tourney atmosphere even at Staples Center an NBA venue. Maybe one day in the future LMU will be there and I can root for them. Had. A great chat with some Xavier fans and they all wondered why LMU has fallen so hard. Even the Wisconsin and Arizona fans wondered why we can't get recruits to show up. I agreed. The one thing that stood out from their comments was that even if LMU just attracted third tier guys we could be good. Yep to future coach Wyking Jones' ears!

Sounds exciting to having been there at Staples. I guess the baskets are friendlier than in Houston, where all shooters were challenged. Perhaps Dunlap has the recipe for returning t0 the big dance, at least, lets us hope so. New recruits are promising in any case.
