Their side of the South Region is shot to hell. Iowa is the second best team left on that side. There literally may have never been an easier path to an E8 halfway through Day 1 in tourney history.

I bet Iowa doesn't scare them as much as Davidson or UAB.

Davidson is the only scary team just because of how capable they are of getting red hot.

Other than that the Zags got it made

You would think so.

Upsets beget upsets though.

Also Gonzaga has loftier goals than the Sweet 16.

Except Gonzaga hasn't made it to the 2nd weekend in how long?

Have you all not learned that there's no such thing as a lock once this thing starts… I thought this morning taught you all that. :nono:

1 seeds beating 16 seeds are always a lock. I doubt a 16 seed will ever beat a 1 seed. There are just too many very crappy conferences.

Well no shit, haha. I wasn't talking about that… I meant everyone is penciling in Gonzaga to win that side of the bracket already when I could easily see them going down to Davidson/Iowa if one of those teams gets hot.

Oh yeah. You're right about that. But there are sure things.

Honestly Davidson would get squashed by the Zags. Just wayy too smal. I dont see a team left in that side that can beat the Zags until the E8 unless the Zags just play like real shit

For the record I have the Zags taking it all. Total score 151 for any tiebreakers in my pool

Looks good, but if any team knows not to put the cart before the horse it's Gonzaga. Things set up exactly the same in 2013 and well we all know how that turned out for the Zags.

Davidson is kinda similar to BYU and Saint Mary's but a little bit better and more battle tested than those two and Gonzaga struggled at times with those teams. They could definitely compete with them.
