“I was younger, even up until now, I never liked playing with people who wouldn’t pass the ball,” he said. “It’s always frustrating, whether you’re the best player or the worst player, whatever — when you ballhog, it’s really frustrating to the rest of the team.

“Passing the ball, especially for me, since I get double teamed or triple teamed … If there’s two or three people on me, someone’s open and can get a good shot,” he said. “Scoring is great, but I want my team to be successful, so I think that’s more important to me.”

“The second one, the one where I fell over, we just came out of a timeout, and we knew we were going to run the play,” he said. “I knew it was coming, I stepped on the kid’s foot, I fell, it hurt, but I knew I had to get up and make this pass … I hoped that we could get the play and get a time out or something to get me out, because I couldn’t run.”

“I’m in a boot. It’s not great, but hopefully it will get better soon,” he said. “It hurts to walk.”

Really want Gonzaga to go to the Big East. The WCC is actually not a bad conference by any stretch but it will just never get general cbb fan notoriety.

That would be great for mens basketball, but that's a brutal road schedule for their teams and will greatly increase their travel costs.   Not sure that move would be worth it for them financially.

True on the travel, however you could create a schedule where GU has road games in two week blocks and you schedule them geographically appropriate

Providence/St. John's one weekend and Xavier/Creighton the next

Tough loss for Creighton, losing their starting PG in their most recent game.   From all accounts, sounds like it was a bad injury.  Hate to see it.   He was having a great freshman season in the Big East, will definitely hurt them when it comes to tournament time.
