Good afternoon. A quick post after attending media day earlier today. I tweeted a couple hours ago (twitter.com/srjimm) that freshman forward Ryan Spangler broke the pinky finger on his left hand in Monday's practice. He'll have surgery this afternoon and will probably miss 2-3 weeks. More here later when I post a Gonzaga notebook. 

Also, the Wooden Award has trimmed its preseason Top 50 watch list to a midseason Top 25. Gonzaga's Elias Harris made the former, not the latter.

Lastly, I'll be on AM 700 talking GU hoops with Patchin, Lukens and Osso at 3:20 this afternoon. You can find a link to tune in here.
