“Gonzaga faltered in NCAA championship, but its rise remains one of college basketball’s amazing tales” From ESPN story: Less than 25 years ago, Gonzaga's administration nearly made a decision that would have made the Bulldogs' rise to a national powerhouse impossible. In the summer of 1998, the school was in the midst of a budget crisis, enrollment was stagnating and the powers-that-be were searching for any way to cut spending. One option on the table: dropping the athletic programs from Division I to Division III. Just in scholarships and travel, the school would have saved more than one million dollars. "I spent pretty much the whole summer battling to save us," Gonzaga athletic director Mike Roth told ESPN last season. "But I also pointed out to some people that by becoming Division III, we have no chance of ever helping this university from a national or even regional perspective. So we survived at that time. ... But we got through it, and that was the summer of '98. And then March '99 rolls around and we won some games."

Super thin, but talented. He outplayed Emoni Bates when I saw them go head to head.
