You’ve heard it here first: this ain’t gonna be easy, folks. The Gonzaga Bulldogs are taking on the #4-seed Florida State Seminoles in the Sweet Sixteen. Some may snigger in delight (I’m looking at you, Selection Committee) because this is essentially a rematch of last year’s heartache.
Last year, Gonzaga was a 4-seed, Florida State a 9-seed. They played each other in the Sweet Sixteen….at the Staples Center...in Los Angeles...30 miles up the road from the Honda Center in Anaheim...the site of Thursday’s game. The Zags packed up their bags after a tough 75-60 loss.
