and Gonzaga has never played great in the MC. The avid student fans will find a way to be there, along with out of state fans visiting in Utah that week. Imagine the possibility of Gonzaga ranked in the top 5 by then, and if BYU has a good showing in Maui and is coming off wins vs Utah, Stanford and UMass they will be ranked as well. The date is no excuse for not packing the MC if all those factors come together.
