Is Gonzaga a tourney team, objectively?

We know they will get in. But should they?

They've only got two wins against the field, and those are both likely double digit seeds. Their resume metrics say they should be in Dayton, but their predictive metrics say they are a 5 seed. Lol. In all my years I can't remember a discrepancy this large between the two with the predictives bring that much better. They better sweep their Cali trip bc I don't think trem with 10 losses is getting in.
 
Santa Clara must be the best 3 point shooting team in basketball history.
 
Breaking news: Santa Clara missed a 3.
 
Who would have thought Ismalia Diagne would have been a key reason we win a big game in late February.

Well, the sweep will happen.
 
The one seeds are probably happy about that.

Yep, they will be a dangerous 6/7 seed and I can see them being favored over a team like MSU or Wisconsin if they happen to be seeded in the same region.

The 7/8 line could be a combination of Gonzaga, BYU, UConn and Kansas.

A combination of the Top 5 preseason teams, and probably the team that could beat any team in a one game scenario.

Yeah, it'll be interesting how that shakes out. I think after the top 6, there is a bit of a drop off to teams like MSU, Iowa State, Wisconsin, St Johns etc. If you're a 7 seed, and win your first round game, getting someone other than the overall 5 or 5 seed is a huge deal. Like Gonzaga or UConn against someone like MSU/Wisconsin/ISU is a pretty even game IMO.
