Ask yourself, how many of those games were against higher ranked teams? Home, away or neutral? Makes a difference... no? 21-40 isn't bad if you asked me. In fact I think that pretty much proves my point. The fact that they were able to PLAY that many games against top 25 competition speaks volumes. Given their conference, budget, enrollment, etc. etc.
And who said the Zags should measure themselves against Duke, NC, Kentucky etc.??? I don't think anybody thinks that.
The Zags are what they are. A solid National program, perennial tourney team... but nobody says they are "elite" like Mich. State, NC, Duke, Uconn, or Syracuse.
