What is also clear is how much better Gonzaga is rated than our other patsy opponents.  Gonzaga is rated as better than 7 Pac 12 teams.

My eyes tell me that Gonzaga is a very good team.  I also want to believe that, because if they are not, then Stanford is not as good as I had hoped (and still think) they are.  But make no mistake:  the Zags could easily have won that game Sunday night, and frankly, I thought they were going to very late in regulation.  And it was not flukey.  They are physically strong at all 5 positions, are well-coached, have good quickness at the guard position and sound play in the paint (even if it is the 3 posting up, as opposed to the 4/5).

It would not shock me in the least if they are one of the last 8 or 4 teams standing in the tourney.
