Stole my bit (I was going to do “Narrator: They couldn’t”).

Even in that since 2000 number they had a positive number, meaning they had overperformed seed expectations. So it’s still false narrative going that far back. They had a few years post Morrison where they underperformed and most people decided that was all that mattered in their minds

The answer is to try to make him a shooter which is easier said than done

I think it’s mutual. This is a freaking amazing team, but USC seems unprepared for everything Gonzaga does on both ends and lost their swagger really fast.

Yup, the fans keep thinking that pre-NCAA tournament every year yet continuously keep getting surprised by their tournament result.

I hope the second game is equally uncompetitive.

In a good way! :wink:

I figured that was implied. :grin:

I also figured Michigan is much more likely to win a blowout vs. UCLA than vice-versa.

Ok yeah I was wrong lol Gonzaga is going to blast USC back into becoming a football powerhouse. They stand no chance.

Honestly, if USC doesn’t show some life in the first 5 or 10 minutes of the second half, they should just invoke the “mercy” rule and start our game early!:wink:

Suggs >>>>>>> Mobley on my mock draft board. Not even the same tier, imo

I got Gonzaga winning this year if we can’t beat them (I don’t think Baylor will), and I think the Zags will have a nice chance at running it back next season as well. I think they could make a run at a dynasty-type situation in the coming years if they keep recruiting and developing guys at this level. NIL could really change things though…

Hopefully u didn’t put anything down on the Trojans with Brendan, Dylan😉

NIL might not be as big of a problem for them as you’d think. They have a national brand, and there are a lot of Gonzaga fans in Seattle. (Well, inasmuch as there are a lot of sports fans in Seattle in general. Which, there really aren’t).
