Zags Stagger into NCAA's


Posted Mar 7, 2006


Gonzaga wins the WCC Tournament again, but it sure wasn't easy and it certainly wasn't pretty. GUnation.com offers a brief pictorial of the Championship game that saw the Zags finally wake up and get serious in the last 10 minutes to eke out a 68-67 cliffhanger.

It looks, feels and smells eerily similar to Gonzaga's perfect 2004 WCC campaign that saw the Bulldogs sweep through the conference despite gradually tailing off until Nevada brought down the hammer in Round Two of the NCAA Tournament.

Despite multiple impressive accomlishments - nation-leading 40 game homecourt win streak, nation-leading 18 game win streak, a 46-2 WCC record over the past three years, another 27-3 record and top-five ranking, and a bonafide NPOY co-favorite - the Zags will need to sharpen up in the next ten days, or risk yet another early round exit from the Big Dance.
