Well, folks. We are finally here. The Gonzaga Bulldogs, seemingly against all odds (or sometimes how the narrative seemed), are a No. 3 seed in the NCAA Tournament and looking to make yet another deep run into March.
It isn’t going to be easy of course. Statistically, the West Region might be one of the toughest, if you go by the advanced metrics. The No. 1 Kansas Jayhawks might be the “weakest” one-seed with a KenPom No. 9 ranking. But UCLA (No. 2), UConn (No. 4), and Saint Mary’s (No. 11) are under-seeded based on their analytical strength.
