Poll: Will anyone challenge Gonzaga?


 West Coast
Vance Walberg is bringing his up-tempo coaching style from the juco ranks to the West Coast Conference as the new head coach at Pepperdine. Will his philosophy work at the D-I level? It's anyone's guess.

Aside from the Waves, questions exist at Gonzaga (Who will replace the scoring of Adam Morrison and J.P. Batista?), Saint Mary's (Is this the year they finally break through and surpass Gonzaga?) and San Francisco (Can the Dons use Big East talent to win the conference?).

We'd like your opinions on the West Coast Conference in 2006-07, SportsNation. How successful will Pepperdine be? Which team is most likely to threaten Gonzaga? Which game are you most looking forward to?
