While Gonzaga prepared this week for the West Coast Conference tournament, much of the discussion surrounding the school has focused on another league -- the Mountain West.
The No. 7 Zags will have been off a week when they take to court against Loyola Marymount on Saturday at Orleans Arena in Las Vegas. But athletic director Mike Roth has had a busy week.
The Mountain West and Gonzaga have at least discussed the possibility a new conference affiliation for the Zags, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported this week.
"I guess the adjective I'd use is exploratory," Mountain West Conference commissioner Craig Thompson told the paper.
