Gonzaga - Portland State...WTF?!

Portland State 77, Gonzaga 70.

WHAT THE HELL?!

What say you...is this good for us?

Good of the conference be damned, I cheer every time they lose.

I'm with the Gorilla. This made my week.

I enjoyed this score. One more time the Zag fan's can blame off-night,Few or player. They would never say JD tore them up or that PSU played well and was the better team last night.

Three losse's this year. Was it not about 5 games ago Matt Bouldin was bragging about how they will probably go unbeaten. TEE HEE . I bet he's feeling like a j-ass now. 3 losse's and counting.......

Don't get me wrong, I love watching the 'Zags fail. Just not something I expected.

I just thought of a reason. They were distracted with helping the Vikings travel to Spokane in this weather. And of course, the Vikings spent all day on a bus yesterday so they were ready to release all the energy when they got to the gym.

And if they think Few can't get it done...there's a Pac-10 school down here with a new arena opening up and an AD who is friends with Few...Just sayin'...

I'd rather that Gonzaga keep winning until we play them. Also, there's only room for one major basketball team in the city of Portland IMO. Victories by PSU won't help us in recruiting. No offense PSU; I say that out of respect.

PSU doesn't need to recruit, they just pick up former Pilots.

Hard to believe a player looking for a college experience like UP's would ever consider PSU, and vice versa. The two schools couldn't be more different. Not saying one is better, they are just totally different. Of course, if a prospect never looks past the gym door to see what the total college experience will be like . . .

They seem to pick up former Huskies too. Their coach and two of their best players came from UW.

Gonzaga's loss to Utah tonight is not going to help the WCC gain much respect... Even if they are a rival, it would be nice for one team to remain ranked in the top 25 for UP, St. Mary's, or San Diego to upset.

yeah.... Losing 4 of 5.... Not exactly the way the Zags planned on rolling into the conference... Hopefully they can save face against Tennessee next week, but it could be a tough chore in Knoxville...

Actually, in terms of RPI, the zags haven't been in the top 25 for several days. They were 27 before tonight's defeat they are 32 right now, and you can expect they will drop a bit more at the end of this round of games.
St. Mary's, on the other hand, is currently at 14. They were as high as 11 a day ago.

UP is now at 114, up from the 170's a week or so ago.

Maybe I'm just bitter, but I can't pretend that I'm not happy to see the Zags lose. I'll root for any other team in the conference, but not them.
