As a long-time Spokaner and as a fan of the Zags wbb team, I am upset and embarrassed by this loss. I am not buying it that the team that went 3-1 against the Pac-12 this year lost the cupcake conference tourney championship game now two years in a row to Portland without doing it on purpose to get a second WCC team into the NCAA tourney on the automatic bid while the Zags expect an at large invite. 11 days between games does not account for the level of play GU demonstrated in this game or the Pacific game before it. "Too many days without a game and despite practices, we forgot how to play!" It is not fair to other teams with players giving it their all to play at higher level trying to get one of those invites.
