Gonzaga vs San Francisco Game Preview


Why Gonzaga Will Win

Gonzaga hasn’t exactly been hit with a big right hook lately, but it’s proving it can take a punch.

It’s all relative, but Saint Mary’s, Pepperdine, and Santa Clara all hung around with the Bulldogs just enough to make things interesting – and then they all lost big.

The Gonzaga offense continues to be the best in the nation from the field, the defense continued to be the best in the nation on the boards, and even when there’s a little bit of a problem, there’s always a scoring burst that makes everything okay.

San Francisco delivered a few punches against Gonzaga in late January, and it lost 78-62.

Making things even harder, Gonzaga has been stronger on the offensive boards, fantastic on the free throw line, and …

Why San Francisco Will Win

The Dons can play.

The offense might have stalled in the loss to Saint Mary’s, but it perked right back up to hang 104 on Pacific.

It’s a great team on the boards – it’s the best in the West Coast Conference on the defensive glass – and the threes come in bunches. It’s the type of team that could give Gonzaga a whole lot of issues.

How do you beat the No. 1 team in the land? You have to be red hot from the outside, create a slew of turnovers, and make it a crazy back-and-forth fight if the Don offense can keep up.

What’s Going To Happen

After three straight games on the road and five in the last seven, San Francisco is back in War Memorial with the right style and the right mix to make this a battle, and …

Gonzaga is terrific at guarding the three.

San Francisco hit just 29% from the outside in the first meeting and Gonzaga’s defense hasn’t fallen off a bit since then.

The threes will be dropping, though, enough to make this a whole lot of fun. The Bulldogs will pull it out, but they’ll have to sweat.

Why San Francisco Will Win

The Dons are getting hot at the right time.

They lost to Gonzaga 71-54 a few weeks ago – and to the Bulldogs a few weeks before that – but they’ve pulled up in time to roll on a five-game winning streak including two strong performances in the West Coast Conference tournament.

It’s a big-time bombing team that puts up a whole lot of shots from three. It’s a strength-in-numbers situation making nine per game because of the volume of shots, and they need to drop.

The defense is great at taking the ball away and generating easy points, and this is an active team on the boards that can do just enough to not get rocked in the rebounding margin.

Why Gonzaga Will Win

The Bulldogs are great at stopping the teams that need to live from three.

They held USF to just 25% in both wins, and in both games was able to explode in the second half against a D that doesn’t do enough to stop anyone who can shoot from the outside.

Gonzaga hit 7-of-8 from three in the first meeting.

USF needs to force steals and comes up with takeaways to win this, but Gonzaga doesn’t screw up. It’s careful with the ball and is one of the best teams in the nation at moving the offense with the extra pass.

What’s Going To Happen

San Francisco will get off to a good start and come up with a whole lot of big shots early on, but like it did in the first two games, Gonzaga will explode in the second half to survive and advance to the WCC final.
