    Duke vs Gonzaga

    It really boils down to 2 things IMO for us to walk away with the W. #1 Make them play a halfcourt game, because if we run with them.....look no further than what they have done to Texas, and UNC. #2 Take care of the basketball...which can lead to #1. If we turn it over it's off to the races. I'll add a bonus to that and that's we have to play better defense than last night. We let Ravio, or Heytvelt go off on us like that....embarassment is on full circle for the entire nation to see. This game reminds me of last year's Texas game where everyone was predicting us to lose. Gonzaga hasn't played well as the favorite. I think somehow someway we pull out a W.

      I would have the Zags as the favorite since it is a neutral game at MSG. It always seem like they play well during neutral games in the regular season. It also appeared they were almost looking forward to playing Duke last weekend when they played at Georgia.

        Because everyone thinks Duke is playing like dog****. Not to mention they have all ready bombed Texas, UNC, and Washington.

            Gonzaga seems to play well in their "big" games this year against top opponents, so it'll be a good game. Go Zags!

              This Pargo is slick. & it's amazing when they think there is too much contact & when they just "let them play".

                Good win, but it's just that a good win. Let's put this W behind us and move on. San Jose State on New Year's Eve is all I'm thinking about now. Greg played a very good game, and our D flat out shut down Ravio. Good luck the rest of the season Zag fans.

                    Our D aint even close to being overrated. And I don't know how Gonzaga is overrated after smacking Washington, UNC, and Texas around. I guess UNC and Washington is overrated too now right? Plus how many teams are better than us right now that are ranked behind us? And I mean that you can prove are far and away better. All the teams that are are ranked in front. Kansas doesn't apply because they don't show up half the time.

                        Yep he had that killer instinct last night. If we can get him to shoot like that, and couple that with Nelson, McDunk, and Scheyer scoring double figures, and Hendo taking it to the rim *and shots finally going down for him* might be a special season indeed.

                          Gonzaga can't defend. Duke is not a top twenty team.

                              That might hae been true of the past several years, but you haven't seen Gonzaga this season then. They truely are a good defensive team with the exception of the Georgia game. North Carolina shot 37%. Butler only shot 39% in their win. Texas shot 41%. Washington shot 43%. Duke only shot 35% in their win. As of last weekend, they were allowing 39% FG%. hat's pretty good against who they've been playing. Gonzaga has been able to do it consistently against top competition. So, I'd have to say they can defend.
