There was a while that far western basketball felt irrelevant. Outside of Gonzaga, there were no powerhouse teams that one assumed would be in the national hunt every year and until this last season even they had not been to a Final Four. Now we have added Arizona, UCLA and Oregon who are fairly consistent at a high level. Now, that is all going on feel: I have not checked the Top 25 lists for those years.
I think it is good for college basketball for the west coat to be strong. I do not particularly follow any of those teams, but it never is good for a sport when a region if weak. (Think east coast in college football.)
