YES! GU goes down to USF

[EM_Puma]

USF Dons are this time on the other side of a one-point game!

Gonzaga 65
USF 66

We are tied for 2nd in the WCC.

If we do get by GU this week, and that's a BIG if, then USF will have a whole lot of fans pulling for them next Saturday when SMC visits USF. I am very shocked we are that close to a tie for the WCC regular season crown.

What's the tiebreaker? Head to head or season record?

Not certain, but seeing as to who each of out two other opponents are after our game with GU Thursday, we beat them and we don't have to worry about tie breakers.

All I want is a tie for first and a free pass to the semifinals.

Seems about right. I think we're a slightly better team than Gonzaga. Which puts USF just barely in between us.

SMC is the biggest issue. If we beat the Zags, we will not be tied with them. SMC has to lose to a very spent USF team. Then we could be tied with SMC. But they swept us - probably the tie breaker.

Just Keep Winning Cougs. Big night Thursday.

Tied for the title would be wonderful. Another conference title and it should help with NCAA seeding. The first seed probably will get LMU in the semifinals. So SMC can take the 1 seed.

SMC is going down to USF. The wheels are coming off of SMC's season and USF is going to have a full head of steam after beating GU.

SMCs biggest weakness is their complete lack of depth. They got the injury bug at a very bad time because USF is real good at home (and of course they just laid an egg against Murray State) And If Holt and Dellavadova (sp?) aren't healthy by tourney time, LMU is going to be in the conference tourney finals, which means either the Zags or Cougs could get left out if LMU won the whole thing.

LMU is good (and getting better) but I think we'd take them on a neutral court in the conf tourney, same for Gonzaga. SMC is falling apart. USF is tough but we just beat them (barely) at their place and I don't think it would be as close on a neutral court with short rest. Right now I give us 1 chance in 2 to win the tourney. Next weeks game against GU is huge but more for momentum and confidence going into the conference tournament (and by extension the NCAA tournament) than for the actual standings.
