NCAA Berth Not A Lock For Gonzaga

Junior guard Kevin Pangos was asked earlier this week if Gonzaga has started thinking about seeding. He replied with a question: “Seeding for the big tournament?” “I don’t think we’ve really thought about that yet,” said Pangos, when told the question referred to the NCAA Tournament. “We just want to get in there first of all. Taking it game by game is going to help us get that right seeding.” Sound advice, because playing the projection game might be enough to scramble some brain cells of Gonzaga followers. On one hand, the Zags have strong numbers with a 23-5 record, a piece of their 13th WCC championship in the last 14 years, a No. 25 ranking prior to falling at BYU on Thursday and an NCAA RPI of 28/Jim Meehan, SR.

Question: Which NCAA Tournament seed will the Zags get?
