Dick Harmon: Is Gonzaga good enough to reach the NCAA title game? BYU's Dave Rose weighs in

Is Gonzaga a pretender or a true blue blood capable of an NCAA basketball title from its perch atop the West Coast Conference?

BYU’s Dave Rose has an opinion. His Cougars are the only team to beat the 32-1 Zags, who were ranked No. 1 at the time. BYU beat Gonzaga on Senior Night 79-71 in Spokane.

“They’re better now than they were even a couple of weeks ago.”

The NCAA selection committee delivered Gonzaga an expected No. 1 seed in the West Region. Mark Few’s squad is out to prove that lofty recognition in the NCAA Tournament first round regional at Vivint Arena on Thursday.
