Game Thread: 2nd seed Gonzaga vs 7th seed Iowa - TBS - 7:10 pm EST

So, if Woodbury and Clemmons can do good with ball control and Uthoff or Oglesby will have to be on fire from 3-point range.

I think if this game wasn't in Seattle, Iowa would have a great chance. Not that it's certain they lose, but it's basically a home game for the Zags.

I wouldn't be surprised if Iowa wins (my record on the Zags speaks for itself), but the Zags should win this game.

That is a good point, but Iowa also is good on the road as well. Ended UNC's home winning streak, and I would argue Iowa is more on fire now.

Gonzaga is going to win and win rather easily. That is my opinion.

They score a lot. If Iowa struggles scoring, that is a good possibility. Especially if Iowa turns over the ball a lot.

I think GU wins this game 7 out of 10 times, but all you have to do is win once. That's the beauty of March. If you're hot, you're hot, so we'll see. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see it. I love upsets (unless it's AZ), and I think GU will struggle against the better teams. But honestly, I think that happens next weekend, not this one. I guess playing UCLA instead of ISU is a break for them, but like you said, who knows? UCLA is hot, and AZ saw that in the P12 tourney.

But GU had the nation's longest home win streak before they lost to BYU. Granted, most of the teams they play at home are shit, but still, it builds confidence.

Good luck, Hawkeyes

The Zags started out hot.

 

[MI Nightmare]

Good start for both. I still like my Zags to go all the way.

 

[iowajerms]

Uthoff had an amazing dunk. Iowa is on fire offensively right now.

 

[MI Nightmare]

Nobody accounting for Wiltjer.

Sabonis channeling his pops.

Iowa can barely do anything right now. All Zags need to do is throw the ball up and it goes in.

Also, Zags defense is keeping Iowa out of the paint.

If he turns out to be half the player his dad was, he is still going to be VERY good.

This game is men against boys

Zags just too much of everything for Iowa.

He's showing signs. Just a freshman though he did play some "pro" ball overseas. Hope he stays 3-4 years and really develops.

Killing them inside and out.

 

[MI Nightmare]

Pangos got ballsy lol.

 

[iowajerms]

Iowa can get open to shoot a 3-pointer but can't make it.

It doesn't matter if Zags are open or not, they just make their 3s.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Wiltjer is just a damn good player

 

[MI Nightmare]

Sabonis will be throwing it all the way down next season.
