Gonzaga's national title chance a breakthrough moment

No more questions about when the Zags will reach college basketball's final weekend. "They've been pretty phenomenal all year," Gonzaga coach Mark Few said after the Zags beat Xavier for their first Final Four berth. [...] we'll go down there to try to win the thing. The program Few helped build from scratch during his 28 years at Gonzaga — 18 as head coach — has been one of college basketball's most consistent teams. Gonzaga played a dominating all-around game, playing crisply on offense, as it usually does, while adding the dose of stingy defense that had always been the program's Achilles' heel. The 1999 team turned the nation's attention to the small Catholic school in Eastern Washington by reaching the Elite Eight. The 2006 team, led by a long-haired Morrison, faced UCLA in the Sweet 16 and came up just short in a two-point loss that left its star player in tears.
