Michigan Rising?

After they utterly destroyed Virginia, we talked about how good Gonzaga looks and speculated that they could go undefeated.

Gonzaga is a bit unusual in that their toughest games generally come early in the year. Conference play is dangerous of course and St. Mary’s and BYU are usually dangerous and you overlook Santa Clara at your peril - just ask UNC.

Still, the Zags have a reasonable shot at pulling it off...at least in the regular season.

Tournament play has a way of messing things up. We saw it in 1991 with UNLV and in 2015 with Kentucky.
