Give me your number

I would say they are a 13-14 win team in the big. I've watched their games. They shoot well, but not as well as Iowa and they play less D. They also play in a league that does not guard much past the arc and has slower less lengthy players on average. They would be good, but not dominant IMHO. I think that they would struggle with the physicality and let them play (in most cases) aspect of the B10.
Mark Few would figure out how to play in the B1G and I think this season's team team would win 16 or 17 games.
Wrong number if you are Jenny is the girl for you ....
14-6 in conference .
The tournament will be interesting . Gonzaga always seems to lay an egg , except for the year they made the final
Four. One of their big years with kelly olynk they were a one seed and barely survived first round before being bounced in the second

867-5309 lol. and he beat me to it.. darn!
We'll see if the Zags get friendly refs that prevent defensive-oriented teams from laying close D. But basketball is about putting the ball through the hoop... they can do that. When we do it we look fantastic.. they do it every game.
The only variable with Gonzaga would not necessarily be talent level or skill.....They play with a freedom and loose feel that any shot they take is going to go in.....The last team that I saw play with that type of confidence that fans had questioned was Wichita State with Ron Baker and Fred Van Vleet at guard.
In the WCC, when you are playing that confident and loose, your play looks unbeatable and there are no bad shots.....even though they were down to BYU last night, it is still a program, deep down, Gonzaga knows they're just better than..
I think Gonzaga would be around 13 to 14 wins in this year's B1G, which would still be in line for a 1 seed. I have my doubts that they can carry on and play that loose and confident, as they advance through each round....
It would not surprise me to see them struggle in the round of 32, vs whatever 8/9 seed they play. I am not afraid of playing Gonzaga, if I am RU.....not because of the matchup or talent level, but RU has played with a ton of weight on their shoulders for weeks.....I think RU can play much looser vs a 1 or 2 seed, if they advance. And the same goes for a hopeful rematch vs Illinois, if they play loose vs Indiana.
Indiana is really the one game where I think RU can play loose and free and I am hopeful they play with that freedom we saw in MSG, with nothing to lose and everything to gain....RU has performed and has a free slate with no expectations like a Gonzaga. If RU earns that matchup and Gonzaga is in a slower battle, I would be curious to see how they perform vs a capable underdog that defends (something BYU really isnt looking to play in that style)
Gonzaga vs an Oregon or North Carolina as a 8/9 seed.....really not a big deal, those teams want to run and score, those teams are not going to out score or outshine a Gonzaga in an up tempo game.
I am not even discounting giving RU, Michigan State or a Wisconsin, giving Gonzaga problems with good defense, slower tempo and some ability to have guards take and make tough shots and control the backboard.

Although not as popular as 867-5309, I've always enjoyed this phone number song (634-5789) just as much...
