The Gonzaga men’s basketball team hasn’t fallen short of preseason expectations. In fact, the team might be surpassing the expectations of some people.
With a 15-0 record (hopefully 16-0 by Friday morning, barring any serious slip-ups at Loyla Marymount — fingers crossed), the Zags appear to have earned their Top 5 AP Poll ranking. After defeating the likes of Florida, Washington, Arizona and Tennessee — all teams known to grace the Top 25 — there is no doubt the Zags have proven a deep-benched, veteran team.
However, if the Gonzaga Bulldogs have any kryptonite, it is their own conference: the West Coast Conference (WCC).
