The start of the WCC season means a wider selection of stories around the conference. My WCC preview ran in today's S-R (uncut version is in the previous post).

Elsewhere, Portland, Gonzaga's opponent on Saturday, won 12 pre-conference games; Saint Mary's, which ranks in the top 10 nationally in seven offensive categories, has found another scoring option, Santa Clara lost a scoring option (it's a couple of items down); a ranking of Bay Area teams, and San Diego needs a boost of confidence.
