By the time No. 4 Gonzaga takes the court to play Pacific in Saturday's West Coast Conference tournament quarterfinals in Las Vegas, the Bulldogs will have had seven days to stew about their one and only loss.
No longer is Gonzaga ranked No. 1. No longer is it undefeated. In fact, Pacific (11-21), which beat Pepperdine 89-84 in a first-round game on Friday, will be the team coming off a win, while the Bulldogs (29-1) are trying to rebound from a defeat.
Gonzaga has heard a lot about what last Saturday's 79-71 loss to BYU means about the quality of Bulldog basketball.
