On Monday, the Zags were one win away from earning the auto-bid to the 21st-consecutive NCAA Tournament. The plan was to do it in style, to even make a push for that No. 1 overall seed.
Instead, as we know, Gonzaga fell apart at the seams. This post isn’t to detail that process. This post is looking ahead to Sunday, and to Gonzaga’s shot at a No. 1 seed.
Right off the bat, I’d wouldn’t wager any money on it. For as many arguments as you can say about Gonzaga not being a No. 1 seed, you can line up a barrage of statistics that say they should.
