As we near the halfway point of conference play in the WCC, we know a couple things: 1) Gonzaga is (once again) far and away the best team, 2) Portland is the worst team and 3) everything else is pretty jumbled.
Gonzaga is going to win the conference handily, but the race for second is especially important this season. A new rule this year gives the top two seeds in the WCC a double bye up to the semifinals. So if you finish third or lower, you’ll have play at least one extra game if you want to make it to the conference championship game.
