This is a year where many experts pick us to be in the final 4. We have excellent players at every position who as a group are in the best shooters in the nation. We have a coach who has the winning-est record of all active coaches (above 80% winning percentage). I'm sure this puts a lot of pressure on coach Few to avoid the pitfalls we have faced in the past such as hot shooters, poor reffing etc., in effect judging just how good a coach he is. Many critics exclaim we are over hyped in that in our tournament performances we have won 16 games and lost 15 games under coach Few. That is a 51.5 % winning record in the NCAA tournament. They may have a claim as I couldn't find the other coaches winning percentages, but I suspect that many have a better winning percentage in their tournament performances, thus the 80% number merely reflects that we can expect about 13+ plus wins in the WCC conference (weak conference). Add 8 easy games in non conference and that only leaves about 8 good teams we may face in any given year and some of those teams have off games or years.Thereby accounting for the 80% winning record.
This is the year for coach Few to shine, putting all those naysayers to rest. If we make it (or don't) it will be because of coaching. Here is hoping coach Few is up to the task. Go Zags and go coach Few.
