The NCAA Final Four is set as No.1 seed Gonzaga meets with No.11 seed UCLA.
Gonzaga Bulldogs (30-0)
Gonzaga record up to date is 30-0 for the season and still going as they meet with UCLA Saturday. Gonzaga has been been having their way all season–some would call it a Cinderella story. The Bulldogs are the only team in the NCAA to still have an undefeated record for the season. Under head coach Mark Few, who was awarded head coach of the year.
Gonzaga has been putting on a show for the whole season from their floor general Jalen Suggs, power forward Drew Timme and conference sixth man of the year, Andrew Nembhard.
Nembhard who has stood out playing a big role and adjusting to coming off the bench for Gonzaga. The junior guard joined the program last year after transferring from Florida.
If Gonzaga is able to pull off this win and continue on their journey on to NCAA championship game and seal the deal, they will join the last team in college basketball history to go undefeated was, Indiana. That team also went on to win the NCAA tournament in 1975-76 season. They are near to making history and joining the unbeaten college basketball team list
The last time Gonzaga lost was Feb. 22 of last year to BYU, then ranked No.2 in the country.
