People year in and year out talk about the PPG and Defensive % of Gonzaga. Shocked GU is still #1 ranked team in the country. Completely undeserved IMO.
the only way to really judge GU is vs actual competition. Outside of St marys, most of the bottom of the B12, ACC, B10 and SEC would finish top3 in the WCC outside of GU and St Marys. Fact. Their conference is horse SHhh.
Lets compare GU's numbers vs people with a pulse vs. the rest of their schedule
vs Duke, Texas tech, Texas, UCLA, Alabama and St Marys x2
4-3
Points per game average = 76
PPG vs the rest of the schedule
92.6
24-0
vs Duke, Texas tech, Texas, UCLA, Alabama and St Marys x2
FG% 46.6%
Vs everyone else
53.5%
Those 7 games vs real competition is only 25% of their games.
