Take 5 — Or How You Can Tell Whether You Like …

… the Cougs or Zags better as NCAA March Madness kicks off today?

Washington State (25-7) takes on Oral Roberts (23-10) today at 11:30 a.m. and Gonzaga (23-10) faces Indiana (20-10) at 6:45 p.m. in the NCAA Tournament’s Sacramento subregional. Both will be shown on CBS.

Cougs:
1. You still have the stub from WSU’s last trip to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif.
2. You think Ryan Leaf was misunderstood.
3. You regretted that Kelvin Sampson left the WSU basketball program back when — until Dick and Tony Bennett arrived on the scene.
4. You believe that WSU’s logo is the best in the country — and you’re right.
5. You hate all things U-Dub with a white-hot hatred.

Zags:

1. You hope former Gonzaga BB coach Dan Monson lands on his feet somewhere, now that Minnesota has given him the boot.
2. You scour the sports agate to see how Dan Dickau (Portland), Adam Morrison (Charlotte) and Rony Turiaf (Los Angeles) did the night before.
3. You want justice to be done in the drug case involving Josh Heytvelt, but you also want to see him back in the Kennel in 2007-08.
4. You gaze into the distance fondly when the names Casey Calvary, Matt Santagelo and John Stockton are mentioned.
5. You still get ticked when a sports announcer pronounces the school’s name Gone-zah-ga.
