PJA - whats yer point?
Why waste the time to type something thats just gonna piss someone off?
And you still havent brought anything of value to the disucssion.
My reason for supporting Michigan State against zaga that Mstate beat everyone in the big 10 other that Wisky(lost twice, once by only 2), Illinois - and split with Purdue (which was before Purdue fell apart - right after purdue won at duke.)
Thier other losses were to Kansas, Duke, Oklahoma, Kentucky, AtUCLA, and atCuse.
Zaga has also beaten, and lost to, some good teams -
they beat Missouri, Maryland, Washington, and Georgia and lost to only Stanford, and St Joes.
IMO UCLA and St Joes cancel eachother out and Kentucky and Stanford do as well. The other Losses that Michigan state have were against teams that Gonzaga did not see the likes of - Kansas, Cuse, Oklahoma, and Duke.
Otherwise their respective conference records are the same and it comes down to the fact that on a day to day basis a game like in the big 12 is tougher than in a conference with St. Marys, Pepperdine, and San Fran nipping at your heels week in and week out.
Thats my argument - reasonable people can disagree.
What is yours?
