Best In West: Gonzaga v. Arizona
We interrupt college football – championships being pursued, scapegoats being fired, coaching raids in broad daylight and the dead of night – for the best game of the weekend. Maybe. No guarantees. Most anticipated, surely. Assuming recent history is dismissed. OK, then perhaps a seeding tiebreaker come March. In the middle of what should be football prime time, except that almost no one plays college football in the afternoon anymore, ninth-ranked Gonzaga and No. 3 Arizona tip it off in Tucson in yet another plebiscite on college basketball in the West. More of a recount than a rematch/John Blanchette, SR. More here.
