The top-ranked Gonzaga Bulldogs enter Saturday night's home games against the Santa Clara Broncos (10 p.m., ESPN2) as prohibitive favorites with a 98 percent chance of remaining undefeated and improving to 24-0. The Zags, in fact, have a 35 percent chance of finishing the regular season undefeated and have put together one of the more dominant seasons in school history.
The Bulldogs are not short on talent and ability. As C.L. Brown writes, this Gonzaga team has the talent to be worth the lofty ranking and has a plethora of weapons. Statistically speaking, this might be the Bulldogs' best team to date, and there is a 17 percent chance for the club to make the Final Four this year according to ESPN's BPI.
