Bracket projection: Gonzaga

The Gonzaga Bulldogs long ago disposed of Cinderella's glass slipper and instead became one of the most prominent mid-major programs in the nation. Yet despite loads of success in the regular season, a trip to the Final Four had eluded coach Mark Few and company. Last season, they overcame that hurdle, losing in the national championship game. Pieces of that team return to the Big Dance this year, joined by a host of promising new faces ready to not only reach the Final Four, but to attack the next hurdle in the program's sights -- winning a national title. Fresh off a dominant performance in the WCC tournament, does this team have the goods for consecutive trips to the ultimate stage?

ESPN Insider has your answers, as analyst Joe Lunardi has enlisted a team of bracketologists to compile advanced metrics, key scouting intel and best- and worst-case tournament scenarios for all 68 teams to help you make smart picks in your bracket.
