Zags now frown on mocking missionaries because Wade is on the team.
Prior to him joining the team, the mocking was a regular occurrence.

That characteristic still is true for Gonzaga. They just also support B-Ball

The MWC is certainly a better fit from an enrollment standpoint

WCC is a better cultural fit for us. Let's help the WCC build!

That is not what I am saying. BYU enjoys a home court advantage in some WCC

All ranking systems rate the MWC well above the WCC.

Except the one that actually matters. NCAA tournament wins.

Ahem. SMC has as many NCAA wins in the past 3 years as the entire MWC.

The WCC has Gonzaga, SMC and BYU. It's far and away better at the top

I respect your position except for the history part. The MWC is a very new

Thank you for a reasoned position. However, as a point of fact, the WCC does have a much stronger history.

If the WCC is so strong, why do none of the WCC support their teams?

Facts are facts. The WCC has a better history, both long term and short term.

The WCC is definitely better at the top.

I think we all knew moving to WCC would be a step down from MWC.

A step down from what the MWC was at that time. Now? Meh.

I agree. The WCC Group of 7 (7 worst schools) are terrible.
