Gonzaga overview

Seems like just about every season you can make the case that Gonzaga has its best team yet under Mark Few. But really, maybe this is it. The Zags have a little bit of everything: good size, experience, solid point guard play and three-point shooting. While Arizona can match up with their size and speed, the Zags go a solid eight deep and have five players averaging in double figures. While Gonzaga lost skilled forward Kyle Wiltjer and Domantas Sabonis to the NBA after last season, two Pac-12 transfers helped round them out: scoring-minded point guard Nigel Williams-Goss (Washington) and three-point specialist Jordan Mathews (Cal). They’ve also gotten an outside shooting boost from guard Josh Perkins, who has morphed from a 38 percent to a 48 percent shooter from outside the arc. Inside, Polish big man Przemek Karnowski, who missed last season’s UA-Gonzaga game, is a force that the Wildcats may have trouble defending.
