Santa Clara emerging as Zags’ biggest challenger

GONZAGA

As we linked to Steve Bergum's story yesterday and to his blog, we've pretty much covered the S-R's Zag report already.

But there are a couple of interesting stories floating round as GU gets ready to face Loyola Marymount on Monday (you can read Steve's advance here). The Zags' win was covered in the L.A. Times.

Monday's opponent (9 p.m.; ESPN2; 1510-AM), the Lions, defeated Portland on Saturday in Los Angeles.

From around the WCC, Santa Clara handled Saint Mary's easily – in the first game since SC coach Dick Davey announced his pending retirement – and Contra Costa Times columnist Gary Peterson thinks it is time for the Gaels to panic.
