With the recent loss to Arizona, will the Zags rebound and remain confident to defend a neutral court against the No. 2 team in the nation in the UConn Huskies?
The question of the night will be at the center position as the Gonzaga Bulldogs go where Josh Heytvelt takes them. Averaging just around 15 points a game, if he can win the battle with Thabeet, the Zags will be victorious. Last game, Heytvelt struggled and had only six points in the loss to Arizona.
On the other hand, if Thabeet gets Heytvelt into early foul trouble, look for UConn to take advantage and pound the ball inside, racking up fouls on the frontcourt players for the Zags.
Another question will be the point guard matchup with Jeremy Pargo and Jerome Dyson. Whoever can manage there team to play the game they want to play will be victorious. Both point guards will look to take over the game if it becomes a foul shooting contest in the second half.
Wild card: for UConn—A.J Price. For Gonzaga—Austin Daye.
In the end, if Heytvelt has 15 or more points, the Zags will win. On the other hand, if Thabeet has 15 or more rebounds, UConn will be victorious.
Final score: Look for the Zags to win a high pace, high scoring game 67-61.
