Gonzaga Bulldogs prospects
The Bulldogs have their sights set on a National Championship, and anything short of that goal will feel like somewhat of a disappointment. Baylor nipped at their heels, but they were more or less considered the top team in the country the entire year. They haven’t lost a game all season, and have one of the best offenses in recent college basketball memory. They have three different guys averaging at least 14 points and five rebounds per game, and on paper have a very easy path to the Final Four. They’ve already beaten the two seed (Iowa), the three seed (Kansas), and the four seed (Virginia) in their region. They won each of those games by double digits.
