9 seed vs Minn. #1 seed is Baylor (weakest #1 IMO)

So we have a chance???
How is Clemson in? Their best win is at South Carolina. They have beaten an upper echelon ACC team and they are 3-9 in conference. Georgia Tech is out with a better ACC and overall record, beat UNC and FSU, and beat Clemson.

I would take any game in the tournament... I just want to get there. Hopefully you won't call me a potato like another poster does!
I think that it has been proven that on any given night, UM can play with anyone in the country.
You are exactly correct...just get in and see where it goes from there.

Isn't it about time for CaneScott to show up and tell us how great Gonzaga and Baylor are? How the West Coast teams are superior to everyone in the East? How Xavier, Providence, and Cincinnati are Final 4 contenders...?

We are in at this point, and anyone who says otherwise is a potato...with an e at the end in honor of Dan Quayle who I once played against in pickup basketball.

Gonzaga is a paper tiger. People only give a **** about them because they're the "good" story every year. They'll lose out in the Sweet 16.
UCLA, Oregon and Arizona are the true kings of the West. I'd take UCLA over any team in the country, even with their defensive issues.

Gonzaga has gone out and beaten some good teams OOC this season. In previous seasons, I would have agreed with you, but this team has legit Power Conference talent on the roster, thanks to transfers. This isn't a cute little midmajor program anymore, Few is starting to become a less controversial version of Tark, they are just freakishly dominant, and they do it against everyone. By the way, that Arizona team that you are bragging about, Gonzaga already beat them, they've also beaten a solid Florida, and an always dangerous Iowa State. That's not a bad haul, and two wins over SMC doesn't hurt either.

The last West Coast team to win a National Championship was Arizona in 1997. And since UCLA won in '75...only 3 West Coast champions including that Arizona team...3 times in the past 41 years. Put Gonzaga in the ACC and they would most likely have a few in conference losses already. St. Mary's college two times a year doesn't compare to the everyday schedule in the ACC...there are no "off" games.
The main difference between this Gonzaga team and the Tark UNLV teams is that they played anyone, anywhere, at anytime. They played Kansas, Oklahoma, Iowa, Arkansas, Temple, LSU, NC State, Oklahoma St., Arizona, and Louisville just in the '90-'91 season alone. That is a who's who of that era. The Gonzaga schedule does not compare. Notice how many non-conference West Coast teams UNLV played? That is why they went far in the tournaments...3 Final 4's from '87-'91 and a Championship.

How many teams are going out and playing those kind of OOC slates today? Go ahead, I'll wait. Unless you end up playing in Maui, or the Coaches v. Cancer classic, you aren't coming close to that. By the way grading conference strength merely based on who is the last team standing at the end is a joke. Remember the following: The northeast had a streak of not winning titles, but having tons of teams advance in the tournament, does that mean that they weren't playing good basketball? Of course not, the NCAA Tournament can be random as **** at times, hence why the 85 Villanova team has a ring, while Phi Slama Jama doesn't.
