No way you can make that claim. IU lost at Minnesota. You're telling me they couldn't have lost at St. Marys? Kansas lost at TCU. You're saying they wouldn't have lost at home to San Diego St? Etc, etc. I don't think Gonzaga would have won the Big Ten. But you absolutely cannot discount Gonzaga going undefeated in their conference. That's a great achievement for any team in any conference because nearly any team could lose to another on any night. Garbage argument.
Edit: Fixed Kansas loss
Fair enough. You are right, I can't make a 100% prediction that they would go undefeated in the WCC.
Let's just say I thought Gonzaga was overrated most of the year (for the record, I said the same thing about IU, no depth) and would struggle in the post season once they saw teams that were much better than the WCC. It's hard to go 6 to 8 weeks and playing mostly mid level DI teams and then suddenly have to play high level competition. IMO, Gonzaga was several steps below IU. The Hoosiers beat some very quality teams this year, Michigan twice (Final Four), Michigan State twice (Sweet 16), Ohio State (Elite 8), Georgetown (Big East co champ), Minnesota (R32), Illinois (R32)...a far better results driven record than Gonzaga. The tournament is a crap shoot, but even there IU went further. Just my opinion.
