Gonzaga Bulldogs Prove They're More Than Hype En Route to Final Four

The Gonzaga Bulldogs left no doubt they deserved a No. 1 seed in the 2017 NCAA tournament by completing a journey all the way to the Final Four.

The Zags began their impressive run with a 20-point rout of South Dakota State, and the Bulldogs then held off Northwestern to advance to the Sweet 16.

The showdown between Gonzaga and West Virginia ended in wild fashion, as the Bulldogs defense prevented the Mountaineers from launching a last-second attempt to send the game into overtime. Gonzaga held on for a 61-58 win. 

An impressive 83-59 blowout of Xavier landed Gonzaga in the Final Four for the first time in school history.

Will this be the year the Bulldogs silence doubters and win their first national title?
