“No team in the country has a better winning percentage against power conference teams since 2017 than Gonzaga... the Zags are playing above average teams in the best leagues in the country and winning 78% of the time.”

Gonzaga Bulldog Madness on local channel KREM2 right now...
Interesting interview with Ken Pomeroy about the Zags. He mentioned that his defensive statistics do take into account the strength of schedule, but Zags have been beating people by so many (especially in conference) that at some point his logarithms break - so it is hard to tell if they really are the best defense in the country. Either way, he said they are definitely one of the top teams.

Noon - 1:00: At The Final Four ( Gumbel, Davis, Smith Preview the FF )

Maybe the mystery feature on Karnowski will be one of the canned pieces we see today. Fingers crossed.

Through it all, the Zags have remained remarkably down to the earth. Spokane is a big (OK, good-sized) city with a small town feel, full of some of the friendliest people you can imagine. Sometimes Few & Co. are comically laid back. In 2013, when Gonzaga finally ascended to the top of the Associated Press poll for the first time in program history, Few was unavailable for comment. He was busy fly-fishing.
And yet, the haters still came out, talking all that nonsense about Gonzaga being in a weak conference (clearly those people do not ever watch Saint Mary’s play) and making snide comments about GU never getting to the Final Four (that they should have gone only once, according to seeds, doesn’t seem to matter). I’ve been convinced since December that this could finally be the Zags’ year, a belief that was reinforced after a gritty win over West “Press” Virginia in the Sweet 16.The GUB Resource Library: Links to: Stats, Blogs, Brackets, & More. . .

I cut the cable cord years ago. But just signed up for CBS-All Access. $5.95 for a free one week trial. Can cancel before the week is up. Watching CBS Live, at the Final Four, which started just now at noon time. Am able to watch all of this on my big Mac desk top. A good way to go. Great quality.
