A matter of perspective, I suppose. You say that none of those games were true road games, but you just as easily could’ve said that only one of those games were at home (Texas).

You also could’ve said that all of those games were against top-25 level competition and that we had another P5 game cancelled because of COVID (Wash).

And, sure, the record doesn’t look great. But, such is life as a mid-major playing in a mid-major conference when you get fewer opportunities to play the major squads. For comparison’s sake, that 2014 Wichita State 1 seed only played 4 power conference teams all year (3-1).

Not to mention, you’re cherry picking Gonzaga’s schedule to include P5 comp while dismissing the fact that there was quality competition to be had for GU outside of major comp (USF and SMC were tourney teams) Memphis was playing like a top-10 team at the time of the tournament matchup, BYU and Santa Clara were both tournament contenders, etc. This is evident because GU had 11 Q1 wins, which was only 2nd behind Kansas for 1-seeds.

Sorry for the rant, just think there were plenty of stats and records to justify GU being a 1 seed last year.
