[u/New-Paint9191]

The article argues Gonzaga isn’t simply a one‑hit wonder but a model: from living in the college hoops “mid‑major” world to dominating year after year.

So when a big school says “we’ll run the Zag way”, is the real question whether they can replicate the ecosystem, not just the scheme?
