The Zags head to the Sweet Sixteen next week.
George Fox fans celebrate a 32-0 season and National Title
Thanks to a 60-53 beating of Washington University (Mo), George Fox University gets to hang a national title banner in their basketball arena.

Donors kicked in to pay for limos to ferry the players from PDX to the Newberg campus on Sunday.
The Vikings and the Beavers’ seasons aren’t over yet. Two of the state’s top teams have earned a shot to play in the post season. PSU gets to take on Xavier in the first round of the NCAA tournament (announced Sunday) while Oregon State heads to the CBI (opponent not known at the time of this posting).
For the first time since 2007, both Oregon and Oregon State nailed wins against Pac-10 opponents on the same day (The Ducks topped Stanford breaking a 14-game losing streak while the Beavs knocked off Cal to hit .500 on the season). The Blazers went Tyson-Mcneely on the Clippers (116-87 on Sunday).

Anyone know where we can get some Mariners tickets this season?
After launching a hall of fame career with the squad in Seattle twenty years ago, Griffey wants to cap off his career dressed in the gray and green.
He shrugged off an attractive offer from the Braves and waved good bye to the Cincinnati Reds (his current team) to accept a one year deal along the I-5 corridor.
The 2-million dollar (plus bonuses) bargain brings back, arguably, the greatest player in Seattle sports history and pumps a barrel of caffeine into a city that has been deprived of some Good Sports News for far too long.
Now, about those tickets . . .
