Zags PASS the ball ... they do not DRIBBLE it that much. They MOVE, CUT and PASS !!
Fun fact....the ball moves faster through the air than the ground

unless you have an elite 1v1 guy like wall, whipping it around like soccer on hardwood is the better way to go

I went from not wanting them to be successful to semi pulling for them bc they play a pure form of basketball. How it was intended to be played before the over emphasis on athletic ability took over

The Zags are the best college team in basketball this year. Now, anyone can be beat....they have a terrible game and the other has a Villanova perfect game.....but that's about it.

Fine team.

Being the best team this season isn't saying much. So it would be really hard to try to compare this Gonzaga team to teams from previous seasons. This has been the weakest season for college basketball I have ever seen. Gonzaga and Baylor have looked pretty good, but since everyone else looks like total ***, who is to say how good they really are?

I just don't think the zags deserve to be included in the undefeated national champions discussion, even if they do win it all. They do not go undefeated in a power 5 conference in a regular year. Road games packed to the gills, loud obnoxious fans. Just don't see it

Gonzaga is a great team. As a college basketball purist, I can’t get behind tiny U. Never have been able to root for the little programs unless playing Duke, Kansas, etc. Houston, Baylor, Michigan in that order.

I would think all the Few fans who want him at Kentucky should hope Gonzaga loses. If they win it, he will retire there. If they lose, there’s a chance he would go to a bigger program.

I had Baylor vs. Gonzaga in the Final Game in my pre-tourney prediction with Baylor winning. I hope that remains correct as I don't want to hear about the Zags being the only undefeated team in the modern era, etc. However, I am not sure Baylor can rebound with them and these games often boil down to fundamentals.

If you are truly a basketball fan and can’t appreciate how efficiently great the Zags are then you’re nuts. This team is truly a TEAM in all facets. This team would beat Davis’ team. They are genuinely that good. I’ve waited until now to say this because I wanted to see what they would do against an athletically long team.

I understand. UNLV used to be talked about the same way.
This is a fine college team.

W a close game with the 12 team. Zags would beat the 09/10 team. That team could not shoot.

Sorry. Should've been more clear. I meant '12 UK or '09 UNC. Our '09 team could shoot the lights out...Lawson, Green, Ellington. I'm pretty sure your '12 team would run this Gonzaga team off the court too. '15 definitely would, but I was thinking title teams, since Zags are favorite at this point.

Pretty much how I see it. Not to say they aren't good. They are fun to watch.

I think they are the only team that can beat them. Maybe on a great shooting night Michigan but not sure

I'm hoping they win just to further add to the misery that a lot of these miserable UK fans on this board seems to have in their lives.

It's the people that were happy with the 9 and 16 season that are anti-Gonzaga. The people not happy with the 9 and 16 season like Gonzaga.

And if they lose to Baylor all those earlier people will be on here making threads and laughing.
