I know at this point it's not quite as fashionable as it was maybe 10 years ago, but I still really like Gonzaga and enjoy watching them play.

The first year I really remember noticing them was 03-04, when they went about 27-2 and got a 2 seed (then promptly got upset in Ro32, of course, that tourney would be remembered for other reasons, too). Then of course, the Adam Morrison years were fun, and an affinity was born. Wish they'd beaten the cheaters in 2017. I'd love to see them break through and finally climb that mountain some time soon, unless it would be at our expense; maybe this year?

Oddly enough I did not know about the connection between UConn and the inception of Gonzaga's ascendance until much later, maybe around 2010. I was still too young to comprehend the 1999 team at the time (I was 3-4 years old), but found the link between the two teams an additional reason to be partial to the Zags.

Plus, for a young kid, "Gonzaga" was just fun to say!
