The Gonzaga Bulldogs are on the verge of a historic accomplishment. They are currently on the brink of an NCAA Champion, but are also doing it while having never lost a game. While they went undefeated in the regular season, it doesn’t matter outside March Madness.

An undefeated season will be an absolutely monstrous achievement and cement this team as one of the greatest the college sport ever saw. However, there is time to go before the Bulldogs should be heralded just yet. Legendary NCAA Broadcaster Dick Vitale has said that he is worried for Gonzaga.

“if I’m the Zags, I’m a little worried. There’s one team right now, see I’ve got them to go 32-0. I still do, but them being a prohibitive favorite over Southern Cal? I wouldn’t counter that. Southern Cal has been impressive.”

He added, “Those two Mobley guys. With the length they have, their size, a lot of people don’t know this. They’re fourth in the nation in defense field goal percentage, they lead the nation in blocked shots. This is not going to be cupcake city. I’m telling you, this team is dangerous. You can tell Mark Few is going to have a tough time sleeping over this.”

Evan Mobley is expected to be a high lottery pick in the NBA draft next season and has had a great season. If there is anyone man that can take down the Zags, it would be Mobley and the system that the UCLA Bruins run around him may let that happen.
