The Gonzaga men’s team is undoubtedly the most successful basketball squad to come out of the western states in the recent past, culminating in 2017’s trip to the final.
The Zags may be a vastly different team 24 months later, but Mark Few and co. are the top seed in the West with a matchup against Fairleigh Dickinson coming up on Thursday. We can’t pretend like there is any way to predict exactly what will happen in this year’s tournament, but a closer look can provide some insight into how Spokane’s finest might find themselves back in the Final Four and beyond.
