If it weren't for their conference would they ever even make the tourney?
Seriously? What a hater. To even ask that question...

They've won the last 9 years. Obviously their good enough. The educated college basketball fan knows the value and talent of programs such as Gonzaga, Wichita State, etc.
 
So you make the tourney every year because your conference sucks. Then that is shown damn near every year when you get put out.

You realize automatic bids start at the 11th/12th seed line, and that at large bids go to that? So Gonzaga is usually above at large teams.

I'm sorry, but you sound like such an ignorant hater.
 
And absolutely nothing that I'm stating has anything to do with Oregon. Plus, I like the Ducks but I'm not some fan boy.

I am however, a big fan of Prichard and think he will prove you wrong. Which is the whole reason this argument started in the first place.
Yeah, somehow you turned my opinion on Pritchard into you spouting ignorant opinions of Gonzaga, because you're a huge fan of Pritchard and don't like when someone says he isn't NBA quality. Nice one.

You like to take little snide shots at my intelligence bro. You need to figure that shit out.

YOU were the one who talked shit about Oregon getting Bol Bol, Pritchard etc.. Saying they get mediocre recruits... Then you go and say that their conference influences their recruiting. Giving Gonzaga a crutch...

If Gonzaga wasn't in that WACK ass conference, they might not even make the tourney some of those years under self. I stand by this statement.

You're the one hating on my Gonzaga team with some invalid claims because you didn't like that I thought Payton Pritchard wasn't an NBA player. You need to figure that out.

Yet, logic, the committee, and facts disagree with that final statement. But you're just hating.

There's no way Gonzaga should be more successful in the past 20 years than Oregon, because of their conference plus their Phil Knight influence. They're just now starting to recruit at the level they should, but we'll see if it even translates to anything.

Bones, come on. Few inherited a team that made a Regional Final. Ernie Kent inherited nothing and then when he coached up some decent teams it went right back into the gutter again. Altman didn't even have enough players for an intersquad scrimmage when he arrived. Knight's only contribution that actually made a diff was the Arena. And 7 coaches STILL turned them down (including Few.) They knew how difficult it was to succeed in football-crazy school with no sway among recruits. If anything, this program was built on the backs of transfers. That's why the team is just now seeing that translate into blue chip players.

Inheriting a Pac-12 team is inheriting more than a one-year mid major Cinderella.

But maybe I'm overrating Knight's impact, but what Dviss is saying about Gonzaga is flat out blasphemous and wrong.

If I inherited Washington State and OSU basketball I would definately disown my family.

Oregon has more appeal from a university standpoint than those two. Nobody wants to live in Pullman.

Winning the CBI tournament with only two returning starters and one incoming freshman is because of great coaching.

Getting to the Sweet Sixteen after losing your entire starting backcourt to scandal is great coaching.

Anything Altman has done was because of his ability. The recruiting edge Oregon gave him was just something he couldn't get at Creighton. And he still won almost 400 games in the MVC. But Kent had the same edge and look where he is now. That's the difference.
