The 'Zags can't afford to lose outside of conference if they are going to play locally in the tourney with a top 4 seed. That's what made the win over UNC so sweet and the loss to Butler so sour.
In some ways I wish for both the 'Zags and the Pac-10's sake they would expand to 12 teams for basketball adding Gonzaga.

A few weeks ago I launched my own blog about Seattle Sounders FC and Life in Puget Sound. I won't be by these parts often as my focus has changed. Sorry about the unannounced retirement.
