Battle for the best: Gonzaga University students left to right, Lauren Uhl, Riley Soukup, Natalie Gordon, Danielle Field and Colin Bonini, try to stay warm while holding their spot in line for admission to Thursday night’s West Coast Conference men’s basketball game against Saint Mary’s. It’s tradition for students to pitch tents on campus a day before games to get the best seats in the student section. Chilled students, working in shifts to hold a spot while tentmates attend class, pass the time in the Kennel Club Tent City doing homework or socializing with friends. The Zags won the battle of league unbeatens, 68-47. Here is today's story and here is today's John Blanchette column. (Colin Mulvany)
