Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 2114350, member: 1414"] If not Kansas I'll go for South Carolina as a real underdog (that I have some connection to), but aside from them, I'd like to see Gonzaga finally pull it off. If for nothing else than showing a mid major winning again. My point was more along the lines of Gonzaga is a very well coached team (Few has never won less than 23 games there) but doesn't have the sheer talent of the top teams. So they usually run through the bottom of the tournament cleanly and then start facing teams that are lower seeds, but with equal talent (WVU). Agree WVU is unique on D, but had the Zags drawn Arizona, I think they might be in trouble. Instead they get a fairly weak Xavier team, then another team that won't be more talented than them. Against Florida or Baylor it's about a push. In the final, they likely will need to beat a better team. [/QUOTE]
