Only BYU can do this?

[ABEHONEST]

Ruin Gonzaga's quest to be the only undefeated regular season, team, to not lose a game, since, who?
But, but, even though they are almost a lock to win the next 9 games--I still need Suggs at better than 90%--they will be going to BYU for the last game of the regular season, and a heavy favorite to be there unblemished.
What last college team went undefeated for the entire regular season?
Now I know IU never lost a game way back in '75 or '76, but, hasn't there been another team to do the almost impossible?
Yes, I am really lazy tonight.

[LT Profits]

I remember Kentucky went undefeated one regular season but then lost to West Virginia in the tournament.

[LT Profits]

Yep, Kentucky 2014-15.
Also happened previous season 2013-14 with Wichita State, who went undefeated in regular season but then lost to Kentucky.

too bad the zags play in a crappy JV league

I believe Kentucky lost to Wisconsin in the Final Four to ruin their unbeaten season.

[ABEHONEST]

And if things go according to Hoyle, this will be the most publicized game of the year, when they meet?
BYU is strong, 11/3 right now and played the Zags a solid game on the road, but did lose, 86/69.
The Zags will be under tremendous pressure, that is assured. Do you want your #1 team to lose its last game before going to The Big 68 Dance?

[ABEHONEST]

And the math is better much for Gonzaga for
this season, probably 5 times--I wish I could bet it--than will be Baylor's chances of making a undefeated regular season.
They will have a good chance of losing 2 games minimum, I believe?

2nd toughest non conference schedule in country and they are 9-0 averaging 96.5 ppg thats not too shabby imo

True but it will be about three months since facing a tough opponent by the time tourney starts.

[cincinnatikid513]

who gives a fuk, will they choke like usual in the ncaa tourny that is the question

[Chi_archie]

Zaga had to dodge the much superior and also undefeated Baylor team though

they'll never live that down, unless they get to play in the big dance

[LT Profits]

Sorry, you are correct it was Wisconsin. The West Virginia game I was thinking of was 2010, but Kentucky had lost 2 games that year.

[DrunkHorseplayer]

Both Gonzaga a few years ago and Illinois in 2005 went undefeated until they lost their last regular season game. Both of them won their conference tourney and lost in the NCAA tourney final to UNC.

Maybe? But I have a good feeling we will get another chance. Look what they're doing to Kansas. Yikes!
Could we have 2 Final Four teams come in undefeated? What a ticket seller that would be.

[Orbison]

what about that stacked UNLV team who went undefeated and then lost to Duke during the tourney?

[Skookum]

That is total BS. Nobody escapes the Covid protocol this year. Mark Few has a long documented history of playing tough opponents on the road anytime during the season. Do your research. There was no dodge. If you think that, you don't know Mark Few.

As for choking in the tourney, With a small enrollment, (it has doubled in the last 20 years,)they have risen from nowhere to playing in a title game. Plenty of schools would love to be in their place

[ABEHONEST]

Laettner again?
Didn't he get to 4 Final Fours while he was at Duke, winning 2? I love the guy and he's very funny, too.

Hi Tex, tell me something I haven't heard before. Thanks for your pinpointed details of why and how you're so much smarter?

[cincinnatikid513]

abe are u the zags team fluffer

[clockwise1965]

Kentucky. UNLV.

Kentucky. UNLV.

Wichita State then Kentucky back-to-back years. UNLV much further back.

I remember Kentucky went undefeated one regular season but then lost to West Virginia in the tournament.

Sadly Kentucky lost to Wisconsin in the 2015 Final Four after starting the season 38-0. It was a painful end for us Kentucky fans that we've never gotten over completely.

[Jayvegas420]

This is a nothing game Abe, just another route by Gonzaga.

2004 Saint Joseph's Hawks (finished the regular season 27–0, lost to Xavier in the quarterfinals of the 2004 Atlantic 10 Men's Basketball Tournament. Finished 30–2 after losing to Oklahoma State in the NCAA East Regional final.)
2014 Wichita State Shockers (entered the tournament 34–0, lost to eventual runner-up Kentucky in the Round of 32. Finished 35–1.)
2015 Kentucky Wildcats (entered the tournament 34–0, lost to Wisconsin in the Final Four. Finished 38–1.)

38 and 0!!
Wow, what a record and I don't remember colleges playing that many games? Who starred on that Ky. team?

Are you believing this last game--if still undefeated--will not bring out a cold-sweat at tip off for all Gonzaga players?

[Jayvegas420]

BYU barely beat Utah State by 3, this is a look ahead game for Gonzaga

[ABEHONEST]

Jay, we'll just have to disagree, though I hope you are right. Home teams can get fever pitch high and I see know reason why they won't be at that time.
Gonzana possibly looking ahead?

This is big time pressure for college kids. I wonder how they sleep the night before big games like this BYU will probably be?
Too much riding--An undefeated regular season--An undefeated NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP--NBA offers, potentially?

[Jayvegas420]

What do you think of Texas, Baylor, Michigan, Kansas? Those are my 4 big futures that I have parlayed with four NBA teams and four Stanley Cup teams.

[ABEHONEST]

Good choices to play around with. I like teams with momentum, and with Kansas, Michigan, it seems they "may" have lost theirs? Michigan jumped in the ratings so fast, I thought they may be the BIG favorites? Not so sure anymore, but, it still may not be Iowa either?
I think the BIG got too much publicity this season. They don't look so hot to me right now.
Kansas is showing some solid weakness somewhere?
The other two look great right now. G.L.

Yes, corrected myself in Post #12. I was about 6 years behind lol.
