I have been watching a lot of WCC games this year (more than in any other year). The WCC is a good BBall conference this year.
You have the usual BIG 3 in Gonzaga, BYU and St. Marys who all have 20+ wins this season. But, the telling of this season for the rest of the conference. You have Pacific who has 20 wins already and then San Francisco with 17 wins and Santa Clara with 18 wins. These other two teams have the chance to get to 20 wins as well. If that were to occur, you would have 6 teams in the WCC with 20 or more wins.
With these other teams having good seasons, it has made following the conference much more exciting and interesting this year. This is why I think the WCC will get 3 teams into the tournament this year and will have a few others from the conference that will compete in other Tournaments this year as well.
There is still a good amount of Basketball left to play in the next two weeks, but this is shaping up to be one of the best years for the WCC since BYU (and maybe longer) has joined and the other teams are starting to pull their weight in this conference to elevate it.
GO COUGS! Beat Santa Clara.
