Gonzaga is the early round landmine I'm hoping we can avoid right now. KenPom has them 15th, Torvik at 14th, and EvanMiya at 12th in the nation - indicative of a high 4 / low 3 seed in terms of actual quality.
Despite that, they were a bubble team as recently as last week, and I was worried about a 3/11 game against them.
They picked up their 2nd and 3rd Q1 wins and now seem solidly in. They've moved up to the 8 line on Bracket Matrix, which would be great - ideally they'll stick around at 8/9 and make things tough for a 1 seed in the second round. But if they move further up and grab a 6 seed, we could see them again.
The good news (I hope) is that they shouldn't play in Spokane, since that would be heavily disadvantaged towards the top-4 seed in their pod. But I still hope they muddle along and stick around the 7-10 range. Or, if we don't grab a 3, a silver lining of a 4 seed is that we also almost certainly wouldn't see them in the first 2 rounds.
