Gonzaga has had a productive season, highlighted by notable victories such as a dominant win against Baylor and a solid performance against Arizona State. However, their losses to West Virginia, Kentucky, and Connecticut raise concerns, particularly given the strength of opponents in those matchups. While their offense is among the best, their defensive rankings suggest vulnerabilities that could be exploited in tournament play. Upcoming games against teams like UCLA and St. Mary's will be critical; securing wins against these quality opponents could bolster their standing significantly. Conversely, if Gonzaga stumbles in these contests, it could jeopardize their postseason projection.
