This always depends on the bracket. They could be a 1-seed, but will get the lowest seed and toughest bracket. If they miss the top line, they won't even get the top 2-seed (I think that can be the better haul, anyway).

It isn't talent keeping them from the Final Four. It's the coach.

Put the Zags in a bracket with anyone from the top end of the ACC, and these guys are gone.

And I love Gonzaga... but, yikes, they just aren't the same group who play up to everyone at the season's start during the dance.
