In past years I have often said that Gonzaga was overrated (and I think I have generally been proven right) but, this year (and based on only today's game) they look to be the real deal. They are always well coached and now I think they have the depth to win it all. Very impressive win today.So, Zags' are really real this year?
I don't know check back in March I guess.So, Zags' are really real this year?
.but they need a nickname to go with the Whiz Kids and the Flyin' Illini,,,,how about Covid Warriors or Corona Kids?
Their frosh PG Suggs is a stud.In past years I have often said that Gonzaga was overrated (and I think I have generally been proven right) but, this year (and based on only today's game) they look to be the real deal.

Agreed, for some reason he reminds me of Brandon Roy...a little shorter, probably a better outside shot. Plays through contact well. Scary good for a freshman - can't wait to see he and AM go head to head.Their frosh PG Suggs is a stud.
I just turned the game on, are they playing in a small-town Indiana high school gym?Purdue taking on Clemson tonight
I think you are over valuing Kansas. They are not as good as advertised. Gonzaga is good but Kansas got exposed. Their D is average. Even their own fans are saying KU is not as good as they were last year.Watching Gonzaga the later today, there is a distinctive difference. Zags have skills and size and do not make many mistakes while burying shot after shot against quality defenders in Kansas. Our guys will depend on a lot of new guys and three sophs but have a decided speed advantage against almost anyone. At the pace the Illini play, they will turn the ball over, but the better they get at eliminating those and making shots at a quick pace, the more explosive and confident they will become. This team can play with anyone, but it would be a tough task to take the Zags for about a month. Good competition coming along with maybe a handful of losses but no blowouts loom. A championship season is a long process to be endured and embraced. This will be one of them and a team to be remembered in the ilk of Illini greats.....but they need a nickname to go with the Whiz Kids and the Flyin' Illini,,,,how about Covid Warriors or Corona Kids?
They did -- very good. I guess that shows the dangers of a sample size of one.Don’t think anyone mentioned Nebby got beat by Nevada. Haven’t seen either Huskers game but some said they looked good day 1.
