Got a feeling Texas will have something to say about that.

They got very little respect from the committee for many years and it became totally unfair to the top seeds to get stuck with Gonzaga as a lower seed near them. Then and now they’ve lived up to the seeds they’ve gotten and then some for the most part. Few has done an unbelievable job, it’s impossible to imagine that happening again at a comparable program.

zags, said it once, say it again, get into a P5 league, stop, getting fat on cupcakes
Prior to tonight, Gonzaga's most lopsided loss in the tournament was 24 points. Lost to 3rd seeded Maryland 87-63 in the first round in 1995.

Was that just the biggest beat down in an Elite Eight game ever? Felt like it.
Few wont do it. They like .700 winning percentage every year. Big fish happy in small pond.

What a smack down
When will it ever be our turn to make a magical run in the dance? 
Gonzaga has laid an egg a couple times with higher seeds. It's not to say they're not a legit top program but I think both of you are right to some degree. I think they benefit from being in a weaker conference that allows then to pile up wins and get a higher seed than they may achieve at a power 5 (+1) conference that allows less margin of error for off night performances. This year was probably one of those years. The seasons where they made final four runs illustrate the contrary and that they're a legit national power that can compete with anyone. The hard part for the committee is discerning each year whether or not they're a big fish in a small pond or a shark eating whatever is in front of them.
Uconn vs Texas/Miami winner might be the true championship game.
Yea. This is what all the Gonzaga haters say.

UConn split their season series with Creighton this year
If I'm being objective they have been phenomenal and deserve respect... But I'm not gonna be and say they are Charmin soft and benefit from playing cupcakes.
If Miami wins tomorrow, it will be the first time the 1-3 seeds in each region would have failed to make the FF. A 4, 5, 5 or 6 and a 9. How crazy has this tourney been?
How have they won with Hurley? That guy has lost in the first round the last two years… Obviously, he can’t coach.

San Diego state was impressive yday beating Ala. Deep and veteran players
This year he has called BU for half time advice....hence they have outscored opponents in 2d half a total of 70+ points in this tourney. It's all because of calls to BU at halftime that Danny implemented....brilliant coach he is..How have they won with Hurley?

Heard one expert blame it on lack of a true point guard.
I think Gonzaga has seen teams make a jump to a tougher league and either eventually or almost instantly regret it. Wichita State leaving the MVC for the American comes to mind, as does Temple leaving the A10 for the American.
Gonzaga can have a year that is a little bit down and still give themselves a legitimate shot to win the league and the autobid. There is something to be said to the recruiting pitch that goes with that. Also, the WCC is pretty good at the top. I know BYU is leaving for the Big 12, but St. Mary's has been a legitimate contender for years. They have been a 5 seed for 2 tournaments in a row. Santa Clara and Loyola Marymount are both dangerous teams that are on the build too. It's VERY WEAK at the bottom, but the league as a whole is not a total dumpster fire.
