    It's the old "so underrated that you're actually overrated" syndrome. Gonzaga was disrespected for so long that people now feel compelled to rank them as one of the best teams in the country when they very clearly aren't. If they make it past the second round, I will be shocked.

    Not sure how overrated they are, but I was talking with a bunch of the locals and their major weakness is they play to the level of competition. With that said they aren't a great defensive team and that is why they are so close in all their games.

    I don't think they are overrated at all. Just got the tag of playing in a mid conference. Conference play is always tough because teams know you and are used to you. That's why the bottom feeders in the ACC always play the higher teams tough. That said, if Gonzaga was in the ACC I doubt they'd be a 3 loss team. But they could handle themselves.

    They'll make it to the sweet 16 and then get knocked out I think. That would be a good year for them, but since they've been so hyped up most people will think they choked.

    They've had far too many close calls with some pretty bad teams.
