Message: [QUOTE="calorange, post: 2980242, member: 1794"] I will always bet against Gonzaga and any other highly seeded Mid-major in the Sweet 16 or Elite 8 for one reason, regardless of how good they are on the metrics. They just spent over 2 months not being tested on how they will execute at the end of a game under pressure. P5 teams are finding out what they are made of every road game in conference through January and February and in their conference tournament. There is no substitution for the confidence gained by that kind of repetitive experience. When you find yourself in a rock fight at the end of a game, I'll bet on a team that's been throwing rocks relentlessly for the last 3 months over a team that's hardly ever had to do it. [/QUOTE]
