Throughout the game last night, ESPN would show the resume of Marquette which had no bad losses. On Sportscenter, however, they had Gonzaga listed as a bad loss.
How did Gonzaga become a bad loss all of a sudden? They won last night didn't they?
They're going to finish with seven straight wins including a win last night @ St Marys. They have an RPI of 63 according to Nolan. Not a bad loss by any stretch of the imagination. The pundits just can't believe a bubble team doesn't have a bad loss. Well, believe it, baby.

They're our worst loss, maybe, but not a bad loss. To be fair to the pundits, it is really weird to have a bubble team like us that don't have a single terrible loss to point to as evidence why we shouldn't get in.
Of course, I mean that in the sense of losing to a significantly inferior team, I think we'd all agree that Louisville was a terrible loss, but not in the bracketology sense.
I saw that too. Not only that, but in showing Pitt's resume, they listed ND, St. John's and Syracuse under "Bad Losses" for Pitt! I guess if you have no bad losses, your only losses become your bad losses.
Gonz is in the tourney (as of now) after beating St. Mary's at home. Hard to call a loss to a tourney team on a neutral floor (after playing Duke the night before) a bad loss.
Win 2 more and we are dancing.
Losing to another high major team can't be too bad of a loss.
