I'm afraid I think so too..... just curious on your reasoning?
Who the phuck is gonna guard the zags in the paint?. No one....period
USC vs. Oregon would be a ratings disaster.
I'm afraid the Zaga Bigs are too Big, and it causes Silva to foul out with frustration, and Kotsar isn't that good, yet anyways...
But, you can count on Frank Martin to have them focus with a week to prepare, so who knows, I think they need a better 1st half this time around than they've been getting, though...
I had similar thoughts. Size advantage and SC's style plays right into the Zags hands. Unless Gonzaga goes cold like Florida I think they win by 10+. Thornwell can definitely keep them in it. Kid is a monster.
plays a big role in the future hedging market....
SC may be the most athletic defense gonzaga has seen all year.... I'm afraid of them keeping up on offense though...please discuss
8 basketball points is to many in this here game. Take SC plus the 8 basketball points IMO!cheersgif
Feel Zags will make Sc beat them from 3 Point Land in which they rank #246 / 33% but Sc's 2 point offense is even worse ranked # 294 / 46% .... Gonzaga's Def Rank 2P % Def rank #2 / 3 Point% Def Rank # 6 / Strength of Schedule before the Tourney was 126 which scare me some but they have beaten some decent Kenpom Ranked teams .....Florida / Iowa St / Arizona / St Mary's 2 X / West Virginia ....
I agree with a few posters that Silva will get into foul trouble quickly ...he has no discipline .... that won't help ...
Anything can happen when a team reaches this point and Mr Thornwell has made me some dough in the Tourney , so for me it's just a SU lean on Zaga ....
Not picking a point spread winner ....
