Zags Get 2 Seed In Seattle

There were few Selection Sunday surprises for Gonzaga, which begins its NCAA tournament trek close to home – at Seattle’s KeyArena – with the expected seeding – No. 2. The Zags (32-2) face Summit League champion North Dakota State (23-9) at approximately 7 p.m. Friday. Gonzaga is in the South Region, as many bracket gurus projected. Duke is the South’s top seed, Iowa State is No. 3 and Georgetown, which takes on Eastern Washington on Thursday night in Portland, is No. 4. The Gonzaga-North Dakota State winner faces the winner of No. 7 Iowa-No. 10 Davidson. GU is in the NCAAs for the 17th straight year, the last 16 under coach Mark Few/ Jim Meehan , SR. More here.
