I agree. WKU can score, they are more athletic than people realize and Gonzaga is one the bigger baby teams out there.
By that I mean if they fall behind, they will go 1 on 5 and Daye will start shooting 20 footers. They think they are an NBA team because they are in the WCC. They are very talented, but covering DD in a game in the 2nd round is a little more difficult than just because the Zags have more talent.

I like the Zags BUT
Athletic teams can give the ‘Zags lots of trouble.

Case in point was <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice:smarttags" /><st1:City><st1lace>Memphis</st1lace></st1:City>. However, the Hilltoppers are not <st1:City><st1lace>Memphis</st1lace></st1:City> but they did defeat <st1:City><st1lace>Louisville</st1lace></st1:City> in November but lost to <st1lace><st1

Gonzaga can cover the 10 points if the game turns into a track meet with their transition game. However, the Hilltoppers prefer a more moderate pace. In fact they usually use only a 6-deep rotation, averaging 11 minutes a game so defense is their favorite style of play.
<o></o>
In fact only one player taller than 6-5 plays more than 11-minutes a game.
<o></o>
Gonzaga is not afraid to crank up their three point specialists during these track meets.
<o></o>
Downs at 6-8 and Daye at 6-11 are long and will make it difficult for <st1lace>Western Kentucky</st1lace> to get the ball down low.
<o></o>
I like the ‘Zags! But 10 points is too much for me. I teased them down to a – 2 ½ with <st1:City><st1lace>Memphis</st1lace></st1:City> -2 and U. Conn -2 for a 3-team teaser.

Good luck on your play.
