I remember 2002...we need to embrace this and become the hunter. I saw the game in ABQ, our tickets were smack dab in the middle of the Wyoming section...not a good memory.

Let's worry more about USD & BYU this week.

Ugh.

Gonzaga, ranked No. 6 in the nation, had complained that the
selection committee should have seeded them higher. The Cowboys,
meanwhile, were merely happy to be in the tournament.

The Cowboys, assuming the role of underdog that Gonzaga wore so
well in past tournaments, beat up the Zags physically, repelled
every Gonzaga run and simply refused to go away. Instead, it's
sixth-seeded Gonzaga that makes a quick exit.

"They really physically took it to us," Gonzaga coach Mark Few
said.

As a team Gonzaga hit just 19 of 71 shots -- a 26.8 percentage
that was 20 points below their season average.

I remember that game...we really choked and that could happen again - hopefully, not this year!

Just as I said

[GoZags]

I remember that game...we really choked ... !

Huh?

Wyoming was the outright regular season Champion of the #7 basketball conference in the nation that year, and that game was played at altitude against the school (Wyoming) that had the most wins in The Pit (other than host New Mexico). That was a FAR greater “hosing” than playing Davidson in Steph Curry’s back yard.

Should the Zags have prevailed? Sure. But it was FAR from a choke. At least in my opinion.

Rankings are a snapshot of how a team is playing at this time, where seeding should be based on the resume for the entire year, the 2 dont always line up. GU is on a roll now and I think will be a three seed if they win out, four at worst. Still using RPI is hurting us. No major conference school could have had an easier schedule last week than we did with LMU and Pepperdine. We move up in rankings almost by default while other teams play tougher games. I honestly think 10-12 is a more accurate ranking for this team, but when playing well they can play with anyone.

Why? Are you pulling a Brian Pete and suiting up? lol

Remember, we're irrelevant anonymous dorks on a message board. What we write has no bearing whatsoever on what happens on the court.

No doubt. Those are wins that will actually help our seeding.

We shot horribly! Call it what you like but we were not up for that game...we were the better team and we didn't play like we were...stupid fouls...Turriaf picked up his second foul early in the 1st half and had to sit...Stepp couldn't hit the broad side of a barn...it was a horrible game for all GU fans. We were all in shock...it damped my month..didn't watch another game of the dance after that...
