Gonzaga will most likely be #1 after this week

[david]

After Indiana's loss tonight, unless Gonzaga loses they will most likely be #1 next week. Their SOS is only 79th, but their RPI numbers actually look pretty good. 2-0 vs the top 25, 5-2 vs top 50, 10-2 vs top 100. Looking back at their schedule though, they've only played 3 teams who were ranked at the time they played - Butler, Okie State and Illinois. They went 1-2 in those games losing to Butler and Illinois, and only beating #23 Okie State by 1.

It reminds me a bit of Saint Josephs in 2004 when they went 27-1 and despite it being pretty obvious they weren't the best team in the country, they were given the #1 overall seed. Even if Gonzaga wins out and gets the overall #1 seed I'm pretty sure I'll still be leaving them out of my final four.

Yea I'd have them losing somewhere in the elite 8 I'd bet

Stupid is as stupid does.

Few will find a way to gag in the second or third round again. He has had some very good teams at Gonzaga and never even made a Final 8. He is just not a big game coach.

Few may be the biggest jerk out there (not likely with Cal still coaching) but I think I found the team I'll get behind in March.

Problem with Gonzaga is that their schedule is beyond weaksauce. That's why they always get rocked in the tournament. Personally, I'm still mad about UCLA beating them back when they had Morrison. I really liked watching that kid play

I would like to see Gonzaga win it all.

Did we not beat them in the Elite 8 to advance to our first Final Four????!

St. Joe lost by two points in the elite 8. So they just miss going to the final 4.

I don't think Few was the coach,Monson (sp) was, wasn't he
