Today's game vs. top seeded Syracuse wasn't so sweet for Sacre and the Zags. Marc Few was "few-ming" as he saw his team lose by a mind boggling 22 points.
Maybe you can chock it up to seasonal depression, but no one from Gonzaga seemed to show up this afternoon. While they may have looked like a different team today, the reality is that they have so much talent - in fact they have fabulous players every season, from Casey Calvary to Adam Morrison to Dan Dickau.
The problem in my opinion is due to a lack of leadership. Sure Matt Bouldin is one of the country's most fundamentally sound players, but I swear the guy needs an adrenaline shot! The guy never changes expression. Additionally, it seemed like Steven Gray peaked earlier in the regular season, and hasn't had the drive that fans were able to count on like they did back in his less twisted coiffure days -- back when he had his "halfro" (a do somewhere in the middle between and afro and a short style).
Whatever the Zags problems are, they will definitely be back next season with an allstar cast, including Gray, freshmen center Kelly Olynyk, Robert Sacre and stunner Elias Harris. The Bulldogs will come back next year minus Matt Bouldin and his tall look-a-like Will Foster, but they are likely to be tournament contenders, and will undoubtedly have had the necessary time to come up with some new and exciting hair styles. One suggestion however, lay off the Lord of the Ring do's.
