  I dont know how BYU fans get excited for any of these games. The conference is truly awful top to bottom. I even watched some of their game against St Marys, and that is not a very good basketball team. These guys were bricking layups constantly. And I mean BRICKING. Not even close. It was a 4 foot shot and it looked like a prayer. Thats the cream of their conference. Seriously unathletic and not particularly skilled.
  
  Game in and game out against sub 250 teams like Pacific and San Diego, in high school gyms. Seriously. Most of these teams play in gyms that have swinging doors to the outside directly underneath the basket.
  
  Not only do they play in this awful conference, THEY ARE LOSING GAMES IN IT. Struggling. Almost like a you are who you play against type of thing. They will never be above WCC quality while they are in the WCC. Man…..I would lose my freaking mind if Utah played in a conference like that. I almost feel bad for them. Then I remember how much they hate us and I dont feel so bad any more.

  Shouldn’t this be in the BYU/TDS Forum?
  
  Ever been to Spokane and Gonzaga. I worked in Spokane for 5 months. Outsiders call it SpoCompton.
  
  I looked into going to a Gonzaga Basketball game while I was there. The tickets were ridiculously high, like in the $100+ range. They’re the only game in town and the gym is small. Plus they gave us Adam Morrison.

  Can you imagine a P5 school playing a home and home in perpetuity with a WCC team?

    Doesn’t WSU do that with Gonzaga?

      I wasn’t aware of that series, so I searched it, looks like it may have ended.

      I didn’t do any more digging to see if there is something happening in the future. It looks like the same old story as most other long-standing series that come to an end. One side just does not get any benefit from it. Oddly, it’s the “little guy” telling the “big guy” to go pound sand. But let’s face it, Gonzaga isn’t exactly a little guy.

      Lets be honest, that series benefited WSU more than Gonzaga. That was Gonzaga doing WSU a favor.
