Looks like last year

Gonzaga has been to 9 consecutive SW 16.
Sure and Few lost in the first or second round 6 of his first 8 years. Plus it helps a bit that they don’t play in a real conference and come into the tournament healthier and more rested than team that have to fight every game to get a high seed.

They haven't lost in 1sr round since 2008. And rhats wirh being an 11 seed twice..8 seed twice and a 7 seed.

Play a very strong OOC schedule. They'd be just as successful in any P5 conference.

Do some research. Instead of just babbling.

It also helps that they don’t have a fan base filled with a bunch of know-it-better arm chair coaches questioning every substitution.

Yeah, 6 of his first 8 years. Saying the same thing. And sure a very strong OOC schedule makes up for 25 automatic wins each year for pretty much any decent power 5 team.
 
Not sure if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but Illinois has also played EIU & SIUE. They beat EIU by 112-67 to our 90-55 (+10 for them), and SIUE by 90-58 v. us at 80-61 (+13 for them). Not encouraging.
By this logic...any team that beat Michigan football by more then 5 points, is better than IU football. See how stupid you are?
 
Ron Hunter is not a bad mid major coach. Didn't his son get drafted 1st round. Just saying he knows how to develop kids.
I have never met the man but I have always had the impression that CRH was a very good college bball coach. He enjoyed success at IUPUI and Georgia State. His teams were very entertaining. Might be struggling a bit at Tulane which I find is a place difficult to build success.
