NCAA Tournament: #15NDSU vs #2 Gonzaga

[Kingslayer]

Here's my take on the Zags:
Seen them play 5 or 6 times this year and overall not really impressed. Yes there big, 6-10, 6-10, and 7-1. Two of the three big guys Karnowski and Sabonis shoot over 60% from the floor. The other big Wiltjer likes to stand on the perimeter and rain three's. Pangos and Bell Jr are both pretty solid players. But there offense can be pretty stagnant from what I've seen, and they tend to play down to their competition. Bison need to keep them off the glass, make over 40% of 3's, and the biggest thing STAY OUT OF FOUL TROUBLE! Koenig needs to stay smart and not commit stupid fouls. It will be a very tall order...let get on LA's back and maybe pull this off!

I haven't seen any Zag games this year. I know their big. Is this a game we might want to turn into a track meet?

Gonna be a tough game, but anything is possible. If LA plays like he did in that second half of the Summit championship and we get some clutch inside defense/rebounding along with AJ and Miller showing up to shoot hot from outside...we can definitely make it happen! Any idea when the game time will be announced?

Best key to upsets for NDSU is to slooooowwww it down. Less possessions means less points means margins are always smaller.

Then just shoot hot from 3 and get a few breaks.

What a test for that great defense. That height ain't gonna stop LA from draining 3's.

Gonzaga will bring a huge following to Seattle. They probably have a large number of alumni in that area. I actually think that is great, and it will motivate the guys. Maybe Trey Millers friends and family will offset the fan advantage.

Time to shock the world!
