If a Big 6 conference school is getting beat at home by a team in their first Division 1 season, I'm glad it's not DePaul!

Seattle 99 - Oregon St 48

Talk about embarrassing. Seattle has actually beaten Fresno and Utah as well, so they are better than expected. Still, losing by 51 at home? The Beavers appeared headed in the right direction, as they followed up a 6-25 season by going 18-18 last year and winning one of those new postseason tournaments.

This year they have losses to Seattle, Sacramento St, T&AM Corpus Christi, and Ill-Chicago. Is the Commander in Chief in-law losing his touch? I thought he was an up and coming coach.

Seattle is actually a good school with a very rich basketball history(Elgin Baylor led them to the 1958 National championship game). Since the Sonics have left town, the Seattle U. Redhawks have moved their home games downtown to Key arena. I fully expect Seattle U. to soon be invited back to the not too shabby West Coast Conference where they will make natural rivals with Gonzaga.

I have read Denver is trying to get in the WCC too.

That's right, and they may be forced into looking for a new home. The Sun Belt is at 13 members with 10 playing football once USA joins the league. New Orleans is on the way out, and Denver is well outside the conference footprint.
