Seattle Redhawks men's basketball

So that has kind of sent shockwaves through probably the team and really the whole athletic department as I believe Dana was the longest tenured head coach of any Oregon Ducks sports team.

So not seeing him on the sidelines tonight when they took on Seattle the night they were recording this in an exhibition game, was very strange.

And I think it's going to be a very strange season.

We've just grown accustomed to having Dana be there.

I think that we should not prematurely make decisions about the basketball team.

I see that our final score...

In Eugene tonight, on Thursday night, was Seattle 71, Oregon 65.

But you and I were talking before the podcast about this.

Okay.

Tony Stubblefield's Oregon Ducks versus our Seattle Red

Sox.

How great is it? Stubbs rides

conference season.

So folks want to get ready for the big 10 plus subscription next week.

Buy it a little early Thursday night, Seattle at Oregon, 10 PM.

And then hot balls.

And that, that was the case, although they came close to changing their mind.

Some of you may remember this, but in Gonzaga's game against Seattle U at Climate Pledge Arena, that was the game, one of the games where the Zags didn't have Brayden Huff, and they also did not have Graham Eke.

And when we found out before the game that those two guys weren't playing, uh, I was speaking to somebody at Gonzaga, and I kinda made a joke and said, "Well, is Parker Jefferson gonna dress?" And he looked at me and he said, "Yeah Parker Jefferson's dressed like they're not intending to burn the red shirt necessarily, but he, they might.

Like, he end, he may end up playing and making his debut.

It wasn't a huge difference-maker for them.

Uh, and it was pretty fun to see Helland have that success.

But it is kind of a, a, a fun what if around Gonzaga as if Jefferson just kind of suddenly played in that game in January against, uh, Seattle U and maybe played against San Francisco.

That game they nearly lost in Spokane when they didn't have EK or Huff.

And they get to face a really good Pepperdine team who tied them with the win-loss record in the conference play.

And they beat Seattle.

Seattle has also been a solid team this year.

So definitely WC stepping up.

But by and large, you're still looking at, well, if the seeds hold, we're still looking at Gonzaga against San Francisco.

And I don't think Clayton is going to be resting his guys in the championship game.

But but it makes me wonder, you know, I mean, maybe Pepper and I should have had the easier game coming in.

Didn't have to play Seattle because they probably should have been the two seed.

Welcome to the lovely Las Vegas for Coast to Coast Hoops with myself, Greg Hoops Peters.

And as we've got ourselves a tremendous podcast, we're gonna be joined in segment number two by Curtis Rogers, who does an incredible job over at 710 Seattle Sports taking a look at this great game that we all know and love of college basketball.

We have to chat it up with him about what we're all seeing in these wild and crazy court cases.

He is based out there in the state of Washington, so no doubt about there is a lot that is hanging on these court cases for the Gonzaga Bulldogs.

Check responses, setup required, compatibility and availability varies, 18 plus.

[upbeat music] And we're back here in lovely Las Vegas for Coast to Coast hoops with myself, Greg Peterson, and it is always great to be joined by this man as we've got Curtis Rodgers aboard.

He's doing such amazing work over at 710 Seattle Sports, taking a look at this great game that we all know and love of basketball in general.

He's doing a great job on the college basketball front.

But they – no, let's give me 50 games.

San Francisco beat Seattle.

But San Francisco lost to San Diego and Pepperdine in the previous two quads.

Wow.

to keep it sort of in the family.

But I look at this WCC conference, Greg, and I still think St. Mary's right now is that team to beat, but you've got Seattle U kind of lurking there.

Obviously Santa Clara has had some really good talent come through that program over the last decade with you know, Jalen Williams and Brandon Poginski.

They've put a lot of guys into the league as of the last few years.

So I think those are a couple of programs.

You know me, I've always been a big Chris Victor fan at Seattle U. I think he is a really underrated head coach across college basketball.

And I think potentially if he were to get Seattle U in contention in the WCC, I could definitely see him in the running for some bigger jobs.

How about it, University of Denver coming over to the new WCC.
