inlander.com/culture/spokan… Everybody knows about Hoopfest and the Zags, but Spokane's claim to the moniker of Hooptown USA runs a lot deeper. Get to know some of the players, coaches and teams that have helped shape Spokane's basketball culture over the years.

The Innocenti Experience continues.

I have friends texting me about this because they know I am a Timbers fan. I just wanted to have a nice Thursday. This blows.

Gonzaga's going to lose in Corvallis and then return home to face a pissed off Santa Clara squad. At least the Zags should be pissed off, too.

What the hell, man

Graham Ike is now 8-17 from three for the season.

lol at a GCU ad during this game

Thank you, UTEP, for beating Liberty. Also for doing it so Gonzaga at OSU can start on time.

inlander.com/culture/gonzag… This week's Kennel Corner for the Inlander takes a look at the Gonzaga women's team as they attempt to turn things around after a tough start to the season.

Very good to have Gonzaga and WSU facing off once again. Regional rivalries are the best.

The delineation here, noted by the --- is Top tier: Should/could make the NCAA Tournament on merit Middle tier: LMU isn't great but isn't awful Bottom tier: ew

Just submitted a story which will double as my first WCC power rankings of the season. You'll have to wait for it to clear the edit before reading, but my rankings are: Gonzaga Saint Mary's San Francisco Wazzu Santa Clara Oregon St. --- LMU --- Pacific PEP POR USD

@JohnBNash1 If, yes. 3.

@willmaupin Broncos to 2 or 3 after their win tonight on the hilltop?

We need Ronny up there ASAP

Washington State at Portland. A West Coast Conference classic.

Gonzaga enters WCC play 9-4 on the season for the second year in a row. As it stands today, there are 4 Q1 and 5 Q2 opportunities remaining for the Zags.

Ban calling officiating crews "great"

Ban reviews

And immediately a soft pass smh

If Gonzaga can turn this around in the second half and come away with the win, I don't care what the stat sheet says the most important takeaway for me will be the fight they will have shown to get it done.
