Maybe Zags Not So Tough, After All
Certainly, we could have seen it coming, but the Gonzaga Bulldogs will be coming to visit the Utes with a lot less national luster than if their upcoming game had been played a week or two ago.

The Bulldogs plummeted nine spots to No. 16 in the AP Top 25 released today, after losing 77-70 at home to Portland State last week. Evidently, the Bulldogs didn't have anybody who could guard 5-foot-6 guard Jeremiah Dominguez, who buried seven three-pointers and set up a deciding three-pointer for a teammate in the final minute.

Gonzaga has lost three of four games since a 7-0 start that conjured speculation that it might have the best team in school history.

"We've got to tighten everything up," guard Steven Gray told reporters. "We've been letting things slide. We've been getting away with things. ... We have to get back to the basics that got us where we were at."
