How many NCAA Division I basketball teams complete a regular season with only one loss? Not many. How many times was that one loss to BYU? We know it was at least once because the signature moment for the Cougars this season was a stunning takedown of the Gonzaga Bulldogs on the Zags home court.
Gonzaga loses so rarely at home that it seems unfathomable the Cougars have defeated the Bulldogs three straight times in front of the Zags faithful fans in Spokane, Washington.
To top it off, the Gonzaga team made it all the way to the Final Four, then led late in the NCAA Championship game against a tradition-rich team, the North Carolina Tar Heels, only to fall short in the final minute.
