Recently, The Guardian — a UK publication — wrote an article depicting Spokane, Washington, as a struggling city. Gonzaga’s basketball team, the newspaper wrote, is the blighted community’s only hope.

Zags coach Mark Few said Wednesday he was aware of the article, but didn’t read it.

After detailing how “phenomenal” a place Spokane was to live, Few finished his statement with a funny line inspired by the President.

“I don’t know who wrote it,” Few said. “It must be fake news.”
