...they will very likely finish the year undefeated.
Do we think they will run the table?
IMO, it will take a cold shooting night. hate to bring this back to UK, but a night like '10 UK team of going of'er what seemed 30 threes....they will very likely finish the year undefeated.
Do we think they will run the table?
They look like the most solid and skilled team. Watching them take apart UVa makes me wonder, too, if they can run the table.
Has the Baylor nonconference game truly cancelled, or are they still trying to make that game up this season? If not, can't see anybody in WCC touching Zags this season (unless injuries of course).
I think that Gonzaga was hoping that this game was supposed to be the Baylor game. That’s why it is in Fort Worth.Has the Baylor nonconference game truly cancelled, or are they still trying to make that game up this season?

Baylor is better. And Kansas will win rematch in April. Bump in April.
I know...To bad they haven't played teams like Kansas, Iowa, Virginia, West Virginia to get them ready....The resident Gonzaga fan recently asked why Gonzaga would want to play in another league. I think he may find out in March when they meet a battle-tested team like Baylor after sleep-walking for two months.
True---because that 👍 AdjD of 18 surely indicates they play no defense...When they hit threes, they look unbeatable. But it’s pretty likely that they’ll be cold at least once in six games and have to grind one out. If that’s a team that can score, they could be in trouble because they certainly can’t lock teams down defensively.
Kansas, Iowa, WVU, Virginia and Auburn.. Four Top 20 teams. Three Top 10 at the time.I feel like Gonzaga has already played a good schedule thus far and are def the team to beat. They’re legit,

Yeah, ya kinda of sorta of did.....Kenpom means little at this stage, and did I say they play no defense?
Not sure...Not sure it matters...They have went to 3 Elite 8's, a Final Four and played for a national title the past 5 seasons,playing in the WCC--all the while apparently not getting prepared by their weak conference....So you think playing a few quality teams in Nov/Dec prepares you as well as facing quality competition all year? Do you think their league is going to help them improve as much as the Big 12 or Big 10 would?

So to say that they don’t play lockdown defense equates to 0 defense? Weird.
The 4 legit teams they’ve played averaged 84 ppg. Do you consider that lockdown defense?
I consider it pretty good, considering the pace they play at----Also, look at the points per pssession in those games.So to say that they don’t play lockdown defense equates to 0 defense? Weird.

What good has that quality of of competition done for Kansas? One title since 1988 playing in a top tier conference...That is exactly ONE. The past 5 seasons, Kansas and Gonzaga have the same amount of Elite 8's/FF's. Only difference----Kansas with their huge advantage of playing in the Big 12, has lost in the 2nd round twice in that same span---Gonzaga has been to 5 consecutive SW 16's.So you think playing a few quality teams in Nov/Dec prepares you as well as facing quality competition all year?

Nope----just sounded really good. 🤣 ...For all I know, their points per possession allowed could be gawd fukin awful...You're one of those aren't you?
You think when they went to the Elite 8, that was the goal? THose teams were one seeds----35-3 teams. You don't think the goal was to win the title? Or when they played Carolina that team was just happy to be there? SHit, they should have beaten Carolina, IMO.Well, an elite 8 or final four appearance isn’t the goal this time. And when they run into a team that’s been consistently playing top competition while they’ve been playing San Francisco and San Diego, that could be the difference.
I’m not even sure they’re better than Baylor right now. Two months could definitely allow them to close the gap if there is one.

Not sure they are better than Baylor. Not sure Baylor is better either. I mean, who exactly has Baylor beaten asides Illinois? Arkansas Pine Bluff, SFA, LA Lafayette and a miserable KSU team? All the while, Gonzaga has torched Iowa, Kansas and Virginia....And you are talking to me about schedules....
Really?

This isn't the Gonzaga of old....Pretty good teams, large win totals, only to lose in the 2nd round...The teams Few is putting on the floor these past 5 seasons have been legit, FF/National title teams. Last year they were legit FF good....THis year, they are certainly that good,probably better.
If you are elite---you are elite...And they are elite.
But they should have won a title the last 5 years...
