Mark Few hails the fighting mentality of the Gonzaga Bulldogs
There was no NCAA Tournament in 2020, and the Gonzaga Bulldogs look like they’re in search of a double win in Indianapolis. Mark Few is in his 22nd season as the head coach, and 2021 looks like a year where he might finally be able to add the term ‘NCAA Champion’ on his coaching resume.
“I hope people realize just how hard it is. It’s literally the hardest thing we do in our sport is advancing in this tournament,” Few said when asked about maintaining consistency.
While Mark Few did mention that it is really hard to advance to the Elite Eight in a consistent manner, the 58-year-old also admitted that a stroke of luck would also be favorable on a particular night during a tough game.
“But it’s really hard, and I know we’ve done it quite a few years in a row now, but I can tell you, it’s hard. It’s hard to get to this tournament, and it’s hard to win games in it. It’s something that I’ll never, ever, ever take for granted,” he expressed.
“I just am so proud of our guys, all our guys over the years, and just been blessed to be a part of these groups that do know how to get it done and win games in this thing,” Few mentioned.
The Gonzaga Bulldogs are the mighty favorites to win the 2021 NCAA Tournament after booking a place in the Elite Eight. They’re just three more wins away from reaching the pinnacle of success and becoming the first team since the 1976 Indiana Hoosiers to remain unbeaten during a championship run.
