When the MSU schedule came out a few months ago, the road trip I was looking most forward to was...not sunny San Diego St and USC...not the Battle on the Border Tourney in Texas...but the Gonzaga, Washington State trip. Before you navigate away from this blog, let me tell you why. First of all, both arenas will be awesome to visit. I have been a bandwagon fan of both the Zags and the Cougs as their men's programs have emerged on the national scene. It will be neat to watch games on each of their homecourts in the span of a weekend. Second, Gonzaga could be the best team that MSU faces this year. They return 4 starters from a WCC championship team of a year ago. Last year they beat the Cats 82-68 in a game that was closer than the final score indicated. If the Cats play at their potential, they will have a chance to win this game. Third, the Cats SHOULD beat WSU. It is rare when a Big Sky team is a favorite against a PAC 10 team, but WSU is rebuilding and is not expected to do much this season. In other words, two winnable games against prestigious schools present great opportunities for an awesome basketball weekend.
Web Streaming Update:
Just got the word that MY103.5 will be streaming the games from their website, instead of using the Yahoo method of last year. Good news? The quality is much better. Bad News? No archived games. To remedy that in a small way, I will try to post higlights here on Courtside for those that weren't able to catch the game live. Getting highlights is a time intensive process, so please bear with me...To listen via the MY103.5 website, go to http://www.my1035.com and click on the "Listen Live" button in the upper left of the page. Sit back, relax, and enjoy.

Let's blog it up baby!!! How do you feel about Western Carolina? A young athletic team that has played some very tough teams in their nonconference schedule. How do you see the Cats bouncing back from last weekends games at Gonzaga and Washington State? Any analysis from those games? TW Courtside POW? Do you agree with BSC POW? The official blog of Big Sky Women's Basketball needs to be on this! Congrats to Coach Selvig on his 700th win. What do you think about the depth or lack there of of the Lady Griz? Is Weber for real? Should I or should I not fully embrace energy drinks? Ok, I look forward to the next TW Courtside
