A little of everything today as Gonzaga moves closer to its Sweet 16 matchup with UCLA on Friday.

Here’s what we had in the S-R: John Blanchette caught up with Eric McClellan and his mom as the junior guard continues to rebuild his career after being dismissed from Vanderbilt last season; Jacob Thorpe explored UCLA’s improvement , with one notable exception, since the Zags won 87-74 at Pauley Pavilion in December; and I wrote a notebook, led by the Zags remembering to celebrate each victory in a season with 34 wins so far.

Pressers coming up later today, updates on twitter @SRjimm.
