Gonzaga…need to get them on the pre conf schedule
- Thread starter dmc456
- Start date
Better get them in the Bahamas or Maui then! Dont see us or them making that really long trip just for 1 game! Dont we have a home and home scheduled against Kansas in the near future?
Just get UK and KU back and maybe UL, better for everybody, why try to legitimize their shit conference by maybe beating us up once in a blue moon early on, when they recruit weird half pro's from all over the world every year, but choke when it gets down to it as they will again this year. They want respect, they should join the PAC-10 and watch their 31-2 go down to 19-12. That's why they choke every year, they're not battle tested and they don't have to test till it counts, but eventually it counts, as we see
Define choke…
In their last 6 tournaments, they have 2 Runner Ups, 2 Elite 8s, and two Sweet 16s. We would absolutely kill for a run like that.
Why the animosity? You realize they don’t get to decide which conference they play in? The PAC-12 wouldn’t have them.
Few has done a great job turning them into a perennial contender. National Titles are hard, and often a crap shoot.
I respect the hell out of Gonzaga, I think most CBB fans would agree.
Like not win the NC and get the shit kicked out of you when you were the favorite that came in with the perfect record and #1 seed but no real tests other than the death star of st. mary's twice a year in conference. Seriously, I think if they were in the B10, they might have not blown what we did, but the end results would be similar. I would not desire those kind of results, to be honest, those kind of results are for people that want to wear a hat or sweatshirt something. When we get back, I'll expect to win. I think we win one, and we'll kick the shit out of st. mary's and that will be the indication of what they're doing there with the gaudy records and not playing anybody real for 6 months. If I can struggle for a comparison, they're Iowa in a shit conference all day long

This is laughable. Our program has been struggling to make the tournament for the last 6 years, and you wouldn't be happy with 2 Runner Ups, 2 Elite 8s, and 2 Sweet 16s? Absolutely delusional. They've beat St Marys by 16 and 13 points already this year.
Gonzaga would have won the B1G rather easily this year.
Are drunk again? Gonzaga last year beat:
#6 Kansas 102-90
Auburn 90-67
#11 West Virginia 87-82
#3 Iowa 99-88
#16 Virginia 98-75
All before they played a single conference game. You are truly a one of a kind idiot, that's tough to do around here.
Oh yeah, a good job at that, then they play nobody for 6 months. I guess they try, but yes if the PAC-10 took Utah, they'd take them at present. They don't want that though, joining a real conference wouldn't ensure #1 seeds and favors. Thier crap is getting old and I think this is the year they run dry
You must be joking, watch it I guess, let's just see how well they pan out. I bet it won't go well because they choke. They took a real punch last year when they played someone real, it will happen again this year. St Mary's is like playing Nebraska or PSU, or Northwestern, yeah I'm terribly concerned, we just need to do what we do, and not even in the greatest fashion. I'm most worried about Wyoming and then we get rolling again

Agree.
Quietly find myself rooting for Gonzaga when it doesn't impact IU which for the last 5 or 6 years has been never. Gonzaga would have won every major conference this year just as they would have last year. They're not only the most talented team in the country this year, but also one of the best coached teams in the country.
And you are correct about the PAC-12. Gonzaga brings nothing to the table for the PAC-12 nor do they have a football team. PAC-12 would shoot their request down before it was even formally written.
You're so dumb. Football dictates conference realignment. Gonzaga is a catholic school in the middle of nowhere with less than 5k undergrad students. Their athletic profile doesn't align anywhere close to the PAC-12. It'd be like the B10 inviting Butler to join a football conference without a football team only to get a piece of the pie. How well do you think that would go over?
Put the Jack down and do some research.
They played the hardest non-conference schedule by a mile last year. Where on Earth are you getting that they don't play anybody for 6 months?
Yeah Gonzaga is a great fit for the big east. Just doesn’t make sense though. They are pretty small so even the big east is a stretch.
Only point is a lot of those teams aren’t as good late in the season. I mean IU beat Kansas and UNC one year and didn’t make the tournament but Gonzaga makes it work. They’ve brought their conference up too. Look at San Francisco and St Mary’s. Their conference gotten tougher it seems. Go Hoosiers.
No they wouldn't. Gonzaga has more sports than just basketball. Why would the Pack-12 want any of the other sports? Football alone would keep them out of the PAC-12. It would be like you arguing Villanova should join the ACC.
That response is "absolutely delusional", watch IU basketball for 40 years and call me back
They actually align perfectly with their current conference; a bunch of west coast Catholic/Jesuits schools with similar athletic profiles across all programs. Gonzaga just happens to have one of the best basketball programs in the country.
You just going to ignore their entire non conference slate? Please tell us more about how the PAC-12 would love to have Gonzaga.
I'm not old enough to watch IU for the last 40 years. I am old enough to watch Gonzaga have big time success over the last decade (something IU hasn't accomplished).
That's totally illogical, and nothing I suggested at all. But as far as basketball goes, they should join a better conference. This undefeated season shit ends quite quick when you have to face something real, and they're not as good as before
That's probably good for your mental health, but Gonzaga is not a role model for IU. IU is a role model for IU
Why would they move conferences for a single sport? What P5 conference would take they for a single sport? I mean talk about illogical.
Over the next 10 years, would you take:
Round of 32
Round of 32
Round of 32
Elite 8
Sweet 16
Runner Up
Sweet 16
Elite 8
Runner Up
Enter the tournament as the #1 overall seed?
I would take that in a heartbeat. This isn't 1987.
Hell the WCC is better than the PAC 12 this year, at least at the top. Top 4 WCC teams are a combined 8-0 against the Pac 12 this year.
Keep in mind that Gonzaga has had quite a few NBA players in there program for the last decade or so. They got 2-3 on this years team, including a top 5 pick! I think they have like 8 current NBA players since 2013.
What conference would take them? Mountain West? They are pretty football heavy and likely wouldn't take a basketball only school as it wouldn't really benefit them financially in anyway. And even if the Mountain West would take them, its not a substantial jump in competition.
Shit, Gonzaga has about 7-8 NBA players on this team. They have two 5* freshman coming off the bench that would start at just about every other program in the country.
Yes, that's where you're wrong, everybody wants it to be 1987 and nobody wants less
Well, they're not in a P5 conference genius, please pick up a textbook or something
