By most accounts, the WCC is down this season but the conference has retained its reputation for skilled players.

In my notebook that ran in today's S-R, I looked at the WCC's dependence on 3-point accuracy, how the league is going smaller while GU is based on its frontcourt duo of Domantas Sabonis and Kyle Wiltjer, and how the Zags match up defensively with guard-oriented opponents. Yes, that's a mouthful.

Here's my notebook.
