Gonzaga has the perfect personel to match up against this cuse zone... I understand that this isn't your average 2-3 zone and cuse forwards play further out and are more aggressive but dosen't everyone remember how to beat the 2-3?!
Zags have the length to see over the 2-3 for starters as one of the largest teams still remaining in the field. Throw one of their bigs right around the free throw line (the soft spot of that zone) and any entry pass to that big man creates an immediate open three ball which Zaga has been shooting as well as anyone right now. They will be able to get the ball into the high post which will then create a nightmare scenario for this defense which should immediately breakdown. They have players that can score all over the floor and definitely have enough bigs also to play behind the back line of this Syracuse zone.
The orange are going to have to shoot absolute lights out to compete in this one and I just don't see it. Zaga has had nearly a week to prepare for this game and run through all the tape of teams who have broken down this defense all season long. Catching Zaga on only one day of preparation may have posed a bigger challenge but these guys will come out prepared for this zone especially with Sabonis, a future first rounder, leading the squad.
Gimme the Zags -5 for 1k & Zags ML for another 1k plz and ty
