“They go to school. They do their homework. They shake hands. They say please and thank you. But once you throw that ball up, they will rip your heart out and watch you bleed.” -- Jay Bilas
Over the last decade or two, ESPN, CBS, and other sports powers have promoted a "Must go to Sweet 16 or better, or you've had a sucky year" mentality. I'll never buy that. Win or lose tonight, the Zags dominated the WCC by winning it by 2 games; won the WCC tourney by double-digit average; beat a damn good Ok State team that features an NBA lottery pick player; went undefeated at home... Yet just watch. If these Zags--which I've always thought was about 8th best of Monson's/ Few's 16 NCAA teams--lose to #1 seed Arizona, Zag fans will be whining, griping, biatching, complaining, crying about how this season sucked. Say what? 29 wins? Since when has 29 wins sucked? Remember the days when 20 wins was rare and magical at GU? Anyway, I hope the guys win, but if they don't, this team has already surpassed what I was hoping for, especially after Pangos got that nagging turf toe.
To wit, there is nooooooooo way Tennessee or Stanford are top-16 teams, but they make the Sweet 16. Same can be said about some past S-16 Zag teams, to be honest.
Go Zags!

Well said: I was one whining but they sure finished strong - - this really is gravy.
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

Some fans might - you always digest what you just watched. But I think most know this is a tough draw and the zags are gonna give it a go. I think its been a great season so far and where they land in the rankings of zags teams doesn't matter much, IMHO. This team is only playing teams from this season.
I would love to have another week of talking #### at work rather than people flipping me #### all week.
this. don't even have to go to work. can get this same matter right here in river city.
GO Zags !
Go TEAM Zags !
