Reason 1: WE have one of the most powerful, most consistent programs in the nation to contend with every year in Gonzaga. This year they are the best in the country.

Reason 2: WCC is a better conference than the MWC. PERIOD. Ranked 8 vs MWC at 15th best conference. Look at BYU seasons records. Coming into the WCC was like hitting a brick wall. WCC is perenially underrated.
