had the King of Whale Killers not been hurt during the tourney we'd be talking about a Duke team who beat the team with the nation's longest winning streak
I never called GW a pushover, I called Montana a pushover to BC. GW was a good team, but not great. They were at best probably a legit 7 seed.

By your standards Montana is better than GW, Montana beat a ranked Nevada team. GW didn't beat a ranked team all year.

They didn't beat anyone that got an "at large bid" they did beat Xavier who pushed Gonzaga to the end of the game. When your talking about GW though due to their conference they dont play many big name teams.

Xavier was a 9 or 10 seed in the A-10 tourny who got hot, and won that tourny championship. Had that not happened, they would not have been in the NCAA tourny either.
Outside the A-10 the played A-Sun schools, 3 ACC schools who they lost 2 games to, and other podunks out in the lower D1 cess pool. They barely got by Marshall, who ETSU beat by 28 for an example.

So Gonzaga is a bad team?

No had Pops been healthy, we would be talking about UT losing to the team with nations longest winning streak.

No, Gonzaga is a good team, but not a great team. They will only make it one more round at best. They may go down as we speak.

if you beat 26 or 27 division 1 teams you are a good team, it does not matter who you beat, if you are winning that many games it is very impressive

If seedings hold out, they should lose in the next round. Which would mean that they are one of the top 16 teams in the nation. What do you consider a great team? BTW, Montana beat Stanford by 19.

UC Davis and UC Irvine also beat Stanford, but Stanford was a good team the day they played VT----words from vthokie22 not mine. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
