March Madness Preview

It’s always extremely difficult for teams to survive and advance through the tournament, but this year might turn out to be the most difficult in NCAA history. 

That reason has college basketball experts and fans picking the favorites to advance in their brackets, or “going chalk,” as the kids say, and this years favorites are the Gonzaga Bulldogs. 

The Zags are the top overall seed in the entire tournament, and deservingly so. They dominated the regular season, with an undefeated record of 26-0. In fact, Gonzaga won every game by double digits except one, according to ESPN. That’s ridiculous! But history doesn’t always repeat itself, check out Sports Betting Dime to keep up with the March Madness odds and the lastest betting discussions.

Head coach Mark Few’s squad has proven that they are not only the best team in the sport right now, but have a legitimate chance to go down as one the greatest teams of all time.  

The Zags are the first team to enter the field of 64 with an undefeated record since the 2014-15 Kentucky Wildcats. The last team to run the table and cut down the nets unscathed of a loss was back in 1974-75 when Bobby Knight’s Indiana Hoosiers accomplished the incredible feat, according to ESPN.

Now what’s important about that is that the Duke Blue Devils and the Kentucky Wildcats weren’t selected to this year’s tournament and the last time that happened was the 1974-75 season, which just so happens to be the last time a team went undefeated. Coincidence? I’m just saying.
