Gonzaga Still Dominating the WCC

If you are interested in seeing how the West Coast Conference will turn out this year then you ought to check out the ESPN Shoot Around. It highlights the best things about each team in the WCC, but mostly will tell you all about how Gonzaga will continue to dominate the conference, hoops-wise. The Zags will return to action this season with one of the strongest teams in the school’s history, and one of the toughest schedules. Because the Zags play in the WCC, they get a lot of easy games against WCC fodder like Loyola Marymount and Portland. Coach Mark Few has made sure that nobody can blame their good record on lackluster opponents, landing as many non-conference games with first-rate teams as possible.

There might be other teams in the WCC that can make it to the Tourney, though. Chief among them will be St. Mary’s, San Diego and Santa Clara. The easiest way to do that in the WCC is to win the conference tournament, but not many have been able to accomplish that feat lately. So check out the mid-majors this season, as the WCC attempts to gain some respectability.
