Yes - Raleigh. Gonzaga's SOS is #45, but their ELO is #17, RPI is #24 and their NET ranking is #8. Those are pretty high rankings for a #8 seed. And I agree for sure that with Mark Few as coach and the experience they have in the NCAA tournament, they are capable of beating anybody on a given night.
If they do put them in the West it's like a possible pick your poison scenario. If they are #8 seed you get them in NC but you get them just to make the Sweet 16. If they win tonight and get a #7 seed in the West and get hot then you get them in the worst possible scenario in the Elite 8 with their fanbase out there. I guess I would rather have them than say Texas Tech etc in the elite 8 though.
