09-10 WCC Preview by Blogging The Bracket

Preview of the WCC this year. Gonzaga is the predicted winner (of the conference and tourney) but there are definitely some good words for Portland.

If the Pilots can do some damage in the non-conference portion of their schedule, which features three games at the loaded 76 Classic in Anaheim, a home game against Oregon, and trips to Nevada and Washington, an at-large bid is a definite possibility.

This is where he loses me...

Now, Portland, boasting five returning starters (four of them seniors) has rebuilding Gonzaga in its sights.

Mark Few simply doesn't rebuild, even after losing four starters.

I'm confused... we have rebuilding Gonzaga (who simply doesn't rebuild) in our sights?

Preseason All-WCC Team

Player of the Year: Matt Bouldin, 6-5 G, Sr. (Gonzaga)

Remainder of the Team
T.J. Campbell, 5-9 G, Sr. (Portland)
Dior Lawhorn, 6-7 F, Sr. (San Francisco)
Nik Raivio, 6-4 G, Sr. (Portland)
Omar Samhan, 6-11 C, Sr. (Saint Mary's)

Also, in the coming week or so there will be a similar (perhaps more in-depth) analysis from Yahoo!

You know how the intertubes are great because anyone can write something? You know what's missing from the intertubes? Editors.

We will see if the Zag fans realize their team this season is not the same as last season's, especially when they lose a few games.
