Syracuse has had a pretty easy time of it with Cal, and they will be joining Marquette at the Verizon Center for the East Regionals.

It was a pretty good segment. The Junkies know almost nothing about Pomeroy -- but he is a huge fan of theirs, because he grew up in the DC Area. He went to West Potomac High School and Virginia Tech before going out to Utah, where he worked as a meteorologist. He's out of the meteorology game, but he's still in Utah.<br /><br />Anyway, he knew all about the Junkies (in fact, he said that he was a caller many years ago), while they knew very little about him. They kept asking questions like, "So, have you invented any new statistics?" But they were very, very kind and generous, and he was plainly thrilled to be a guest on their show. The whole effect was quite charming.GoHeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122010542579322600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-43158597320190100992013-03-23T23:48:33.608-04:002013-03-23T23:48:33.608-04:00I don't know.

Mark Few has been the coach at Gonzaga since the 1999-2000 season. He has NEVER taken the Zags to the Elite Eight. Since 2001, he has been to the Sweet 16 exactly twice.
