Now everyone can agree: Bulldogs bit off a little too much
ZAGS
Greg, a frequent commenter (as opposed to commentator, which is my title) to this on-line column, wanted to know about a week again if it was OK to say the Zags over-scheduled.
My answer then was yes. And Mark Few agrees. He told Andy Katz of ESPN in this piece, "What we did, I'm not sure you can play all those games in a row," Few said of the late December trips. "It's a lot to ask young guys to travel like that. We had nothing left in the tank emotionally and physically [in Virginia]."
The Zags are back home now and will be facing Loyola Marymount on Saturday (1 p.m.; KAYU; 1510-AM) in their WCC opener. Steve Bergum has his advance up on his blog, as well as note on Harv Clark, longtime PA man for GU, out following heart surgery.
We'll be there though, with pre-game notes and a link to the game story. We may not have time for post-game commentary, because we are also headed down to Pullman for the 7 p.m. showdown with seventh-ranked Arizona. We'll make sure the Zags post is up after we get safely down U.S. 195.
