They've been in the NCAA Tournament 18 straight years. Half of those teams are likeable and you believe they can finally make that hurdle to a Final Four or Championship appearance like other teams from shit-tier Conferences have in recent memory like Wichita St, Butler, VCU, Uconn, and George Mason have..... but Gonzaga always disappoints and usually gets elimanated by a heterosexual Power 5 program.
They're perennial gatekeepers who can never get over the hump, and you should'nt feel any different about them this year. Two years ago with Pangos, healthy Karnowski, Wiltjer, etc. was they're best chance since diabetic stache.
