22 years ago I began following a little upstart cinderella team in march madness , little jesuit school with an enrollment of 5k in spokaloo WA. They got to the elite 8 and led powerhouse Connecticut by 4 in the final minute before falling to the eventual national champions. I said hmm that was fun and they went on my must watch list from then on.
Who could have ever known the brilliance of Mark Few would bring the team to the brink of title in 2017 and begin landing some of the best players in the world. This year's team is the best and deepest Zags team ever and has a serious chance to go wire to wire as the #1 ranked team in the nation. They landed Jalen Suggs as the #6 overall player in the country, an incredible explosive athlete with offers to play both basketball and as a QB for many top ten D 1 powerhouses and he came to spokane .It will be one year an he will be a lottery pick in the NBA.
They have 3 Wooden watch candidates on the floor at the same time and score nearly 100 points a game with great defense and unselfish offense. When Jay Bilas is drooling over your team during the broadcast you have definitely arrived.If you have not been following this team and you like roundball I recommend you start.
Just thought OT could use a little counterbalance to the gloom and doom.
