I agree Rimdancer. My favorite of the trilogy is Part 2 as well. I thought it was so cool when they were in the future, which was year 2015. I remember as a kid thinking, "Wow. That seems so far away." Well, now adays it is not that far away at all. We will be there before we know it.

I did some analysis on Gonzaga's season vs. the RPI. I know the RPI doesn't mean everything and can be misleading, but here's how the Zags have fared against the Top 50 RPI teams and the Top 100 RPI teams this year. These are legit stats that the selection committee looks long and hard at. RPI rankings are as of 2/19:
Gonzaga is 3-6 vs. Top 50 RPI
Win vs. # 2 North Carolina
Loss vs. # 9 Memphis
Loss vs. # 10 Duke
Loss vs. # 22 Nevada
Loss vs. # 24 Wazzu
Loss vs. # 28 Butler
Loss vs. # 35 Virginia
Win vs. # 38 Stanford
Win vs. # 46 Texas
They are 5-8 vs. Top 100 RPI
(include 1-50 record)
Loss vs. # 53 Georgia
Win vs. # 73 Santa Clara
Loss vs. # 73 Santa Clara
Win vs. # 80 Washington
Man, if they could have beaten Memphis, then I think they could have got an at-large. As we all know, it strongly looks like they are going to have to win the WCC Tournament to get into the Big Dance. I'm just giving more proof by the numbers above.

As far as making the tournament they are in trouble but Im with Calipari (Sp?) on this one, they are a damn good team and can run with the best and they should be in the tournament. Heytvelt must feel like the biggest pile of hippo dung in Spokane.
Worse case scenario they end their season with a win and take the NIT Championship.

Well, it now looks like the Zags really have to win the WCC tournament to even get to the tournament, but strager things have happened. If they have a good showing in the tournament, they could get an at large just by reputation. They really have had an up and down season, and it is just going to eb tough for them without Heytvelt and his selfish decision he made, looks like he could end up with a felony on his record, good choice big man. Anyway, good luck to the Zags as they shoot for a tourney bid, I know they will have many fans rooting for them.

Yeah. I agree with Calipari 100% as well. Unfortunately, he is not on the Selection committee. They more than likely have to win the WCC Tourney, but like you guys have said, stranger things have happened. Every year there are 2 or 3 teams that shouldn't get it that do, and should get in and don't... At least they have wrapped up at least 2nd place in the regular season. This will make it so they will only have to play 2 games in the WCC Tournament. So basically, no matter how their last two games go this weekend, if they win on March 4th and March 5th (their 2 WCC Tourney games), they are in the big tourney - NCAA Tournament.

Well, the 3 of you (out of the 8 who voted) who picked no post-season at all on the poll question are incorrect. By winning the WCC regular season, GU is assured at least a bid into the NIT. Hopefully they will win their two WCC Tourney games and assure themselves a spot in the big tournament. They will have to beat San Diego, Pepperdine or San Francisco in the first game, then they will have to beat Layola Marymount, Portland, Saint Mary's or Santa Clara in the chipper.

That was a trick question Fisher. When someone says post season for NCAA bball a person automatically assumes the Big Dance. Oh well, everyone might get another chance to see Riavio play in Spokane again. (I still think they will make the big tourney though)
On a side note, is there anybody else whose quick reply doesn't work when posting. For some reason mine isn't. Im not sure if its a browser issue or not.
