This is a wobbly last five minutes but hopefully we can pull it out. Big rebound by Shelton. We need Leaupepe and Shelton on the court together as much as possible. When Leaupepe went out with his fourth foul that really stymied us.

Quiet night for Shelton - only 32 points. Great win! Hope Lewis and Ahrens are healed before we play in Vegas.

cam has 30+ points in 4 of the last 5 games. That's pretty impressive in college basketball.

They had Shelton bottled up in the first half, and he took a pounding crashing into the stanchion many times on those hard drives. But dude is relentless. I suppose that’s the way I’ll remember Cam’s incredible ‘23. Hope he gets all- WCC honors.
I still think he has to get some help if they’re going to win their WCC tourney matchup. I think they have to win one to get into the NIT so that’ll be a big one!
Heck of a season that any other year they would’ve rolled into the Big Dance but unfortunately there is Santa Clara a deep set of teams.
Great to beat up on Pepperdine.

Felt like it was Gersten North up there. Lots of lions fans making a ton of noise the whole game. Love to see it!

Cam will be All-WCC for sure (and will get votes for POY) Incredible accomplishment for this program to finish 4th in a strong WCC. Great to have the double bye in the conference tourney - can hopefully get Ahrens and Lewis back. Now let’s win the tourney!

WCC standings have Gonzaga listed as #1 and the Gaels #2. Both are 14-2 in WCC and they split head-to-head matchups. Curious if this (#1 and #2) is official?

I’m glad I was able to make it to the game on this chilly And rainy evening Also Glad to see the team pull out another W. 19-11 and 9-7 in conference, I would say definitely an overachievement of a season and glad to see us finish with a winning record.
[How will we do in Vegas? Anybody in here think we can pull off a couple big statement wins and run away with the WCC tournament championship and go dancing?!
One can dream

We had to overcome bad Refs. Even the Waves announcers were a bit embarrassed at two “goal tending” calls that were legal blocks - one by Graham and one by Issanza - plus an offensive foul call on Shelton taking a poor pass late. Luckily the Lions were good enough to have margin to win despite the refs.

I believe I heard this correctly watching the Zags/SMC game last night, but I could be wrong. Since the Zags and SMC finished tied for 1st, the next tiebreaker goes to the team that lost to teams with a better WCC record. But both teams' other WCC loss was to us! So the next tiebreaker is who has the better NET ranking. I believe that releases later today, so we'll find out who officially gets the number 1 seed (and who we would play if we win our first WCC tournament game) shortly.

In Saturday quarterfinal, we will play the winner of SD/Portland vs BYU. If we beat whoever that is, we will play St Mary's in the semi final. I sure hope Lamaj and Justin A are back. Anyone know their status? Go Lions!

Thank you Pump I was wondering if we were in line for the Gaels or the Zags if we get that far
