Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Mark Few might have Gonzaga in the Sweet 16 again...

But Lorenzo Romar is a great guy and the kids like him.

And I'll take that any day!

    Certainly, he must be cheating. How else can you explain the Zags success?

    I just want ucla to win the tournament. Not because I like ucla and not because I support the pac12. Fuck the pac12. I just want some controversy. I hope they beat kentucky with shady reffing and kentucky players being ejected for sneezing the wrong way. Let me watch the ncaa crash and burn please

    Airway Heights to Deer Park is a fucking recruiting hotbed, no wonder Gonzaga gets it done.

    Someday, the UW might have local talent that is as strong as that being churned out in Spokane County.

    Mark Few just reached his 5th Sweet 16 in 16 trips to the Tourney. He made it his first two years which led to lazy media types claiming he always made the Sweet 16 despite missing for 6 of the next 8 years. He then missed 5 straight years before this year. He's never made it past the Sweet 16, just like the Huskies under Bender and Romar and Harshman.

    But he's great, everybody says so

    What happens if/when he makes the Elite 8 this year?

    Is Gonzaga capable of much more than an elite 8 or final four? I dont think so.

    A Kentucky or Duke or UNC or Kansas or abundance will always be there waiting for them and always kick their ass. Best they can hope for is a 1984 Villanova like miracle. Hope is not a strategy Barrack Obannon.

    Few seems to have that program operating consistently near its potential, Plus/minus a game or two in the tourney...does it really fucking matter?

    I'm old enough to remember when Oregon State had a men's basketball program.

    Shit, your women can't even beat Gonzaga's women at home.

    Those Chris Welp / Jose Ortiz battles were awesome.

    Few is not a great coach. He has a school like GU exactly where they should be. Occasional runs. Consistent NCAA tourney entries. He rarely has a team to go for a championship, but he at least is knocking on the door for a small school.

    The argument should be not for GU's greatness, but for how a tiny school with zero local recruits somehow kicks UW's ass throughout the great romar's tenure.

    Armies of stupid fucking Quooks wanted Mark Few because he is from Eugene. After a zillion years of free trips to the tourney he still hasn't been as far as the hated negro Ernie Kent, twice.

    Gonzaga is a cute program with no real accomplishments.

    The Weasel is the definition of big fish in the little pond. He's comfortable at Gonzaga because he doesn't have to work that hard and it is what it is. Don't hate the guy for leading a comfortable life and having priorities. If his plan is to win championships though, then he's easy to hate.

    Win the shit WCC and you're in the dance. Only play one of two real teams OOC. Have a few good shooters that get hot at the right time and pull an upset or two. This is basically Gonzaga in a nutshell. Notice how they never quite manage to beat those good teams when it counts? Not really that impressive for a "basketball" school.

    I don't see how you can call them a basketball school when they are undefeated in football for what seems like forever

    This is the thing the national media finally picked up on about three years ago, and NW and some western basketball fans knew it all along. The Zaggots play a few good teams, and yeah, they're good enough to sometimes beat Illinois or Memphis or occasionally a true top ten team, but they're never going to even get to a F 4 without almost a miraculous performance.
