This is where east coast bias reveals its ugly head. Welcome to the apples and oranges argument you have created however, because if Gonzaga was in the Pac 12 they wouldn’t be a tiny little school in Spokane with an enrollment that is less than half of every other school in the conference. It is true, if the Zags played in one of the big monster conferences they probably wouldn’t be undefeated. That is something we can’t escape from, the West Coast Conference isn’t very good, and Gonzaga tends to completely roll over the competition. Their conference sucks- Nick Stanek March 29, 2015 The NCAA selection committee isn’t putting the Zags up there just because they think it’ll be a good draw. The AP and coaches aren’t just voting the Zags to the top for shits and giggles. That is why the Zags end up getting the high seeds and end up getting the high rankings. The fact of the matter is the “Gonzaga has never played anyone” is your first indicator that you are dealing with someone whose life goals is to demonstrate they have the lowest possible capacity for articulate arguments and intelligent thought processes. John’s, Arizona again, UCLA again, New Mexico State, Kansas State, West Virginia, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Baylor, Kansas State again, Illinois, Michigan State, Illinois again, Arizona again, Butler, Xavier, and this isn’t even mentioning all of the teams they have faced in the NCAA Tournament. But here is a list of team the Zags have played in the past few years: Florida, Iowa State, Arizona, Texas A&M, Connecticut, UCLA, Arizona again, SMU, St. Granted, Gonzaga plays in the WCC, and we will get to that later. #playrealteams- Jeffry Cercone January 30, 2017 If anything, the Zags made themselves a household name by constantly playing -Until Gonzaga plays someone 'decent' I'm not convinced. This is without a doubt the most baffling phrase you can see pop up on internet comment boards and just in general. Ignorant Argument #1: Gonzaga never plays anyone. But hey, if they don’t want to move - let ‘em stay dumb. So you have someone in your life that insists on living in the dark age? Give them this article, help bring them to the light. Our Zags, being a little school in a city most of the nation haven’t heard of, are primed for this criticism, and this year, more than any other year, that criticism is completely unfounded. There is only Big Blue Nation and any other team outside of Big Blue Nation is the worst team in the nation.
People who live in a constant bubble of Big 12 ideals think every single team outside of their conference is garbage. When it comes to the Gonzaga Bulldogs, those cries ring louder and louder from a growing contingent of that special breed of ignorant individuals the internet breeds so well. With that lofty rank comes a lot of criticism, generally starting and ending with that team is overrated or, quite simply, that team sucks.
