Tourney History: Gonzaga broke onto the tourney scene with a string of three Cinderella runs that pushed their PASE to +1.257 after the 2001 dance. Since then, the Zags have been busy frittering away that record of overachievement. From 2002 through 2008, Gonzaga was a -.634 underachiever. Last year, the Bulldogs stopped the bleeding, reaching the Sweet 16 as a four seed. That boosted the Zags' overall PASE to +.093, good enough for 45th place out ...
Go figure, the Zag's play tough teams well, and then lose to USF and LMU. If they get into the west regional locations, thye could put together a run as long as they don't get stuck in either Kentucky or Kansas's brackets.
