Gonzaga vs UCLA Preview
The Zags are looking to become the first undefeated team in the NCAA since the 1975-76 Indiana Hoosiers.
Gonzaga has blazed through the tournament with wins over Norfolk State, Oklahoma, Creighton in the Sweet 16 and against USC in the Elite Eight. The Bulldogs are averaging 91.6 points a game, which is tops in the nation, and they have a well-rounded and potent offensive attack. Led by forward Drew Timme, who is averaging 19 points and 7.2 rebounds, the Zags have four players averaging in double figures.
Forward Corey Kispert is adding 18.9 points, while guards Jalen Suggs (14 points a game) and Jay Ayayi (11.8 points a game) have also been key contributors. In addition to their offensive performances of late, the Bulldogs have also been playing stingy defense, which Suggs says could be the key to the team winning it all.
“When we lock in on that end, we can be excellent,” Suggs told KREM.com. “That’s a piece that we’ve really tried to improve on, and I think that has really helped us a lot in these last couple of games.”
On the other side, the scrappy Bruins are scoring 72.8 points per contest, and while they don’t have as high-octane of an offense as Gonzaga does, they have a formidable attack in their own right. Guard Johnny Juzang leads the way for the Bruins, averaging 15.5 points a game, and he’s one of five players averaging in double figures. Guard Chris Smith is netting 12.6 points a game, and Jamie Jaquez Jr. is right behind him with 12.1 points per contest.
UCLA is coming off a 51-49 win over top-seeded Michigan this week, propelling the team into the Final Four.
“To find a way to beat them with defense the way we did tonight, obviously extremely proud of our team,” Bruins coach Mick Cronin said, via 247 Sports. “It was just resilience. … I think that stat sheet can get crumbled up tonight.”
Now, the Bulldogs have a chance to make history, but they’ll have to take down another tough team with a recent history of eliminating top seeds. The Zags are favored by 14 points, but don’t be surprised if the plucky Bruins give them a run for their money.
