WCC Tourney Thread

[Clark Addison]

BYU is not dancing if they lose tonight, right? I don't care who has them in or on the bubble. Can't worry too much about what other conferences do, there will be upsets, there always are.

Win or go home tonight, I hope they come to play. If they can play with the intensity they did last game against Gonzaga (not like last night) then I like our chances, if Hartsock is feeling well.

Most folks have them in already (Lunardi, for example, has us in with 4 or 5 at large teams below us), but there are always a few teams that win their tournament forcing teams out, so I won't feel real comfortable with a loss tonight. If we win tonight, I will feel pretty good.

Did the WCC move its championship game to Monday to accommodate BYU or has it always had the semi on Sat. and the final on Mon.?

I am pretty sure they used to have the championship on Sunday, and rescheduled it this year for BYU.

Nothing wrong with that. It doesn't hurt that there are a ton of BYU fans in the Vegas area that will fill up that arena when BYU plays, which would have been a factor in that decision.

almost. The championship was usually on Monday, but the tournament started on Friday, not Thursday.

USF (That's the University of San Francisco, a school in the WCC) is up on St. Mary's approaching halftime.

St. Mary's trying to complete a 3 week slide that takes them from worrying about their seeding to worrying about getting in.

Signs in the building that you won't see on ESPN2 tonight:

"Pangos sits to pee"

Give it up Dons. This has been the longest minute I think I have ever watched. Actually, I am not watching, but I am getting pissed flipping over to ESPN2 and still seeing them playing. At this rate BYU won't tip until after midnight.

Looks like it's going to be 8:55.

I hope the Cougars get another shot at Saint Mary's.

PEC coming at you fast.

No meetings tomorrow. Family Sunday. Still have Church at 9am though.

I ended up putting my 2 year old down for a nap today and fell asleep right next to her. I was dragging after staying up last night and then waking up to play ball this morning.

yeah, I'm not going to make it tonight, if I do I won't be getting up for church, that's for sure.

[Joe Public]

Is ESPN3 down or something?

Edit: nevermind - it's back now

Gottlieb wasn't very nice to the Utes.

Davies is going to have a big game tonight.
