They're just not the GOAT team as some have started to crown them. I'd easily say the '96 UK team and at least one of Donovan's Florida NC teams are better.


You can’t be the GOAT team until the NCAAs have finished. But they are a very, very good regular season team. They’ve dominated everyone outside of BYU in the Conference Championship.

I agree with your overall point but WVU was the toughest game they have had all year.

Of course.

Not sure why I blocked that game out of my mind. Good call out.

Gonzaga ain’t played anyone worth a mention since before Christmas. In football that haunts teams in the playoffs, it could be a factor here. I could see Mizzou shocking the world if Tilmon stays out of foul trouble and the guards hit the open looks they’ve not hit all season.

IF Mizzou avoids a 5 minute stretch where they literally forget how to play basketball I think we have a 30% shot.

Next I’d say Bama, a hot 3% team like Bama can beat anyone.

You might want to look up their schedule for this year and see how many Power 5 powerhouse teams they beat .... there are many, Zags are deep, can shoot you out of the gym and are smart.... trust me their oov schedule was nasty

People, and sports fans in particular, are very prone to exaggeration. Gonzaga isn't nearly as unbeatable as many think.

I think every SEC team in the tournament COULD beat them, if they played their best game. And I might even predict Bama to beat them, if someone could promise they weren't going to be cold from three.

Yes, they played them in early December. It is now March.
