Maybe this was brought up in the discussion and I missed it.   Does this count in official W/L standings as a regular game or is this considered an exhibition game?

This game counts as an official W/L. Gonzaga is probably right that they stand more to gain with a marquee win over Stanford boosting their resume. For Stanford, this likely only gets them another Top 25-30 NET ranking. With that being said, I think that the intangible of keeping our players game sharp will only help us in the PAC, especially with Colorado on tap.

And as the players agreed with Tara in the presser, they'd rather play a game than have more practice. Yes, keeping "game sharp" can only help.
