Unlike Gonzaga, which is slowly putting their foot on the throat of the WCC and choking everyone else under them in the standings, or WSU, which (sorry coug fans) has no chance of winning the Pac-10 outright, Whitworth is in the midst of a very heated race for the Northwest Conference regular season championship.
On Jan 30, the Bucs defeated George Fox 83-67 in the conference standings, after Bo Gregg came off the bench to score 18 points. This puts them at a 7-3 conference mark, which is tied with Lewis & Clark for second place and three games behind Puget Sound.
This weekend they'll play two teams fighting for the final fourth spot in the conference tournament, Willamette and Linfield. Meaning that they'll definitely be bringing their game to Spokane this weekend.
Linfield beat the Bucs earlier this year 88-79, but we all know how home-court advantage can really help things out. Lets hope Whitworth can sweep the weekend otherwise they'll have no chance of catching Pudget Sound in the standings and may drop far behind Lewis & Clark as well.
