List of All Americans (1st Team Top 5) and Academic All Americans (1st Team Top 5) in the same season since '00:
Shane Battier, Dan Dickau, Omeka Okafor, DJ Augustin, Kelly Olynyk, Nigel Williams-Goss, Corey Kispert.
And http://kenpom.com/ has us moving up as well. Most impressively, our defense is currently ranked 13th in the country. We usually are much better offensively than defensively. I think the role reversal this year...defense wins championships, as they say
If any of the committee members watched that game tonight, and I would bet that they did, they saw a VERY GOOD Gonzaga team, especially in the first half. They also saw a tough team that plays defense. They held the #3 scoring team in the nation to 16 pts below their average. They saw a very disciplined basketball team, that can really pass and execute on the offensive end (4th in the country). And they can shoot the 3 (again 4th in the country in 3 pt %). I believe they should have seen a team who is at least a 7 seven seed. Objectively you would have to say that Gonzaga dominated BYU, who has an RPI of 31 and strength of schedule in the 30's. That is a damn good BYU team. Honestly, I'll put Gonzaga up against almost any team this year. We don't have the great home wins because of our conference, and the fact that very few elite teams would ever come to GU to play us. we'll see soon...Sunday.
Go Zags!!!
ps I love your positive attitude Go Zags! Way to go.
