They were dreadful in OOC, but Washington is winning some games in conference. Not against the bottom feeders either (as far as I can tell). Kinda looking like anybody can beat anybody in the Pac 12 this year.
Oregon is also suddenly looking much more formidable than they were in OOC.

BYU fans with their noses sticking out all game, like an exposed penisfest. USF fans very largely with their N95 masks and playing it safe (except for their cheerleaders...wha!!! Even GU cheer squad plays it safe, at least to set an example).
Watching this game gave me a hernia, and if the Zags lose to either team the rest of the way, then we all deserve double inguinal hernias and a doctor's finger exam for that every day for the rest of the year. Turn your head and cough!
That said, I think USF has the potential to be more competitive against us than BYU. Their guards are indeed quick and talented.

Originally posted by caduceus View PostI watched the game from start to finish. It was paaainful. Both teams were offensively challenged. No spacing for either team all game. I did think that USF was the better team, but their constantly terrible shot selection kept BYU in it. The very late "foul" on Barcello was bogus -- he traveled and flopped. That pretty much ended USFs chances since Abouye went for the turnaround long-range winner 3 instead of the smart 2 at the end.

Every time a bubble team from a power conference beats a Top 15 team, I worry about the WCC’s potential to get four bids. The Ducks were pretty much out of the tournament picture after their non-conference performance. These recent wins are putting them back in contention for a bid. USF, SMC, and BYU won’t have many opportunities for those types of resume-changing wins. Their games against each other help the winner and hurt the loser.“No team in the country has a better winning percentage against power conference teams since 2017 than Gonzaga... the Zags are playing above average teams in the best leagues in the country and winning 78% of the time.”

I think BYU is pretty safe for a bid at this point with wins in hand vs Gaels and Dons. Even if they wind up splitting with both, a WCC semi final or better should get them in.
Things are much more uncertain for USF. Now they lave lost to Loyola and BYU (home) and the game in Provo or beating BYU in Vegas is starting to look more like a must.
I’m betting that SMC and USF are an either/or deal for the WCC but not both as some .500 P5 conference is going to get that 9 seed or play in game over WCC 4th place finisher-analytics be damned.
