Jesuit Smackdown!

Well, the rest of my bracket is trashed, but I wrote in Zags and X-men for E8.

Gonzaga and X are tied for the most amount of NCAA wins, at 27, without a Final Four appearance.

Go Muskies!

Who's Pope Francis pulling for? I think X.Francis Xavier was a much bigger figure in Jesuit history

We should schedule Gonzaga home and away over 2 years. Easy sellouts for both schools. Historic battle coming Saturday.
One more weekend boys. March Madness gives way to April ????.

Gonzaga would be the one school that I would vote to add to the BE but think the distance is just too far when you consider all of the other sports and the travel that would be involved for all of the student-athletes.

Both programs have "graduated" from mid-major level. They prove that former "cupcakes" can grow into powerhouses! Both teams have now earned the respect of the collegiate basketball culture, and are expected to be in the dance every year. They bith have made the E8 three times and now, unless there is a tie one will ascend to the next level. GOX!
