Man, those dark years in the WCC it was so hard to watch and get into the games because the competition and feeling of each game (except for Gonzaga and sometimes St. Mary's) was so underwhelming (and the team suffered because of it, often times playing beneath their ability and losing crazy games they had no business losing).
Last year, the games in the BIG XII were so fun and intense - every single game. Couple that intensity and meaning of every game last year with this new roster of players with such incredible athleticism, depth, and potential and every game is "Must See" appointment viewing!!
