BYU vs Gonzaga Thread

[Surfah]

Saturday at 5:45 on CBS.

[Green Monstah]

I haven't seen Gonzaga play at all this season. How do we match up against them?

[Viking]

THey have three big guys. I think that favors us. We win and lose by our shooting anyway.

They could have three mid-size guys and if we don't shoot the rock, we'd still struggle.

I like the match up

Stockton is a solid fundamentals kid (shock) but I think our guards take down theirs. If we go 25% 3pt % and 38-40% overall, we win, i think

[Colly Wolly]

Maybe I'm just a pessimist, but it looked like we struggled against a high school team tonight, while Gonzaga handled a very good St. John's team that has beaten quality competion this year. I think BYU is in trouble on Saturday.

Keep Sacre off the glass we win.

The johnnies were good with their main guy, when he went down, they're no better than UNM on their best night

Stockton has solid fundamentals in regards to passing the ball back and forth at the top of the key. But he shoots a low percentage, does not dish out many assists and can't hit from three. He will be a non-factor unless Emery takes his ass in the post.

[EdmondDantes]

Gonzaga is one of the hottest teams in the country right now playing with a lot of confidence. They look like we did a month ago.

It will take the role players in Jax, Noah, Charles, Kyle to really be on their games and make shots if BYU even has a prayer of winning. Jax's shot has disappeared into "nowhere land" and I hope he gets it back, because he's been absolutely brutal since Davies has been gone.

Is that Mountain Time or Eastern Time?

[SCcoug]

We're going to need to have a good shooting night and have Charles and co crash the boards like mad.

You're nuts.

[Surfah]

Keep Sacre off the glass we win.

Sacre is the least of my worries. Noah can contain him. Gray is the type of player that can kill us. Lanky wing who can slash and has range. Elias Harris too. Those two will be tough matchups for KC and Chuck.

Tonight they couldn't miss. And their rebounding was really impressive. They would have beat most teams in this tournament tonight. Aside from the rebounding, St. Johns played pretty well. If they do the same Saturday we will lose.

[Green Monstah]

We're going to need to have a good shooting night and have Charles and co crash the boards like mad.

If Emery could find his stroke, it would make me a lot more optimistic. He had a nice left-handed layup in traffic tonight, but other than that, his offense was painful.

[Surfah]

Is that Mountain Time or Eastern Time?

I believe that's MT time.

I thought it was a good draw initially, but I was looking at St. John's and don't know much about Gonzaga. But they've been on a roll and looked very good tonight. I don't think we should be favored in this game.
