No disrespect... But...
I think you're nuts!
Lets review some of GU's OOC VICTORIES over the past decade:
2000: UW, Virginia; 2001: St. Johns, Texas, UW, WSU, St. Joes, NM; 2002: Utah, UW, WSU, NC ST, Cini; 2003: Georgia, UW, Maryland, GW, Missouri, WSU; 2004: UW, UMASS, WSU, StL, Georgia Tech, Ok st.; 2005: Maryland, Mich. St, Ok State, WSU, Virginia, StL, St. Joe, Stanford, Xavier, Indiana; 2006: Baylor, North Carlolina, Texas, UW, Stanford; 2007: Virginia tech, St. Joes, UCONN, Utah, Georgia; 2008: Ok. ST, Maryland, Tenn, Indiana, WSU, Tenn; 2009: Colorado, Wisconsin, Cincinnati, WSU, Oklahoma, Illinois, Memphis, Florida st; 2010: Marquette, Baylor, Xavier, Ok St., Wake Forest, St. Johns.
And lets look at the "beat downs" in the last 3 NCAA tourneys you mentioned.
2009 - In the Sweet 16, as a #4 seed Lost to eventual National Champion #1 Seed, North Carolina by the closest margin of ANY TEAM they played in the tourney. 98-77.
2010 - In the 3nd round as an #8 seed, lost to #1 Seed Syracuse (in New York). 87-65 hardly a shocker.
2011 - In the 3nd round as an #11 seed, lost to #3 seed BYU (with Sr. "the Jimmer")
So tell me exactly again what Gonzaga has to "prove"???
