Back at the hotel, rental car gas tank has been re-filled and ready for an early call tomorrow. Here's my game story from GU's 68-31 drubbing of San Diego. Saint Mary's defeated Portland so the Zags and Gaels are co-champs. Saint Mary's will be the…
In one of the most intense games of the season, the Spokane Chiefs got two goals from Dominik Uher, including an empty netter with 54 seconds to play, to pull out a 3-1 win over Tri-City before more than 10,000 fans at the Arena Saturday…
It wasn't a pleasant return to Logan, Utah, for Idaho's Don Verlin or point guard Deremy Geiger. The Vandals were manhandled by No. 23 Utah State, which evened the season series with UI with a 84-68 conquest at Dee Glen Smith Spectrum. The Vandals moved…
Gonzaga's expected wrap-up of a perfect West Coast Conference season wasn't the only big news in women's basketball on Saturday. Eastern Washington won at Montana for the first time in two dozen years - yes, 24 - a 27-game losing streak back to 1987 when…
Gonzaga throttled San Diego 68-31 on Saturday night at the Jenny Craig Pavilion, locking up at least a share of its 11th consecutive WCC title, the second longest streak in NCAA Division I history. UCLA holds the top spot with a 13-year run from 1967-79.…
COUGARS Just wanted to pass along our advance for tomorrow's game. That and we wanted to look at today's Pac-10 results and what they meant to the Cougars. ... UCLA's 71-49 win over Arizona moves the Bruins into a tie for first and gives third-place…
After an emotional Senior Day ceremony before a sold-out crowd of 6,000 at McCarthey Athletic Center Saturday afternoon, Courtney Vandersloot got the Gonzaga Bulldogs off to a fast start before the Zags groundout a 80-58 win over San Diego. The 23rd-ranked Bulldogs won their 16th…
The Greater Spokane League continued its dominance of the Columbia Basin Big Nine. I suspect the CBBN can't wait for baseball - since that's about the only sport the league can beat the GSL in these days. Here's my 4A girls story from Richland. LC's…
(Third attempt at posting this, first two thwarted by miserable hotel wireless....) Good morning from rainy San Diego. The game is drawing widespread attention, including four stories alone in the San Diego Union-Tribune and the arrival of CBSsports.com's Gary Parrish, Foxsports.com's Jeff Goodman, Sportingnews.com's Mike…
COUGARS I was going to start today's post just like I did on Thursday, about it being game day, then pretending to remember the game is Sunday and all that crud. But then I decided that was too sophomoric and it would be better to…
