Not the best matchup for us but Gonzaga is notorious for underachieving in March. We will need kaeding to be physical on the boards and shoot a high percentage from 3.

dexter and kading will have to play at same time a lot. need rebounding. i think we matchup well with them at guard. its the frontcourt thats the problem. wiltjer is tough matchup as he can play on the perimeter and is probably a future lottery pick.

I'd guess they want the best draw of Zags at home to be at a time when more fans can make it and watch on TV in the area?

I feel pretty confident that it will be a night game too.

I think they've lost in the 2nd round like 4 or 5 years in a row.

I am drinking the Kool Aid, too. And I spent some $ on Kool Aid yesterday at Scheels. Gonzaga is not a true #2 seed. They are always overrated. And they tend to choke in the tournament. Whereas, NDSU is on a free roll, and they have the experience from last year. LA needs to have the game of his life. NDSU has to shoot lights all from 3 to negate Gonzaga's size. just like last year's game with Oklahoma, the longer the game is close, the better NDSU's chance is.

It would be a great victory for NDSU. But based on last year, we have a chip and a chair. We need to keep it close the first 5 minutes of the game.

Honestly, this is why we moved up to D I for the opportunities like this.
