    Gonzaga vs SMU: Game predictions and other thoughts about the game.

    I've been waiting for this game ever since I heard that we were playing them this year. Larry Brown is one of my all-time favorite coaches and it will be so neat to see him bringing his mustangs into K2. They had a very good team last year, just missing out on the Big Dance in March. They have most of those players back from next year.

    This will be a real test for our Zags. We will learn much more about the team then we now know. In games like this one the stars will rise. I'm excited to see who they are.

    In their first game both teams scored a lot of points and played good defense; so the score is hard to predict. But here goes.

    Gonzaga 87

    SMU 70

    Tito Poet was the top visionary against Sac State (107-62) followed closely by Salsageek (99-59). So you may want to watch their predictions this week.

    Go Zags!!!

      I'm thinking that our sharpshooters get it going again with 9 3's while holding them to 4. Have a feeling that Shem plays angry. Gonna go with 92-78.

        Yeows & Bowels, a poem
        <ahem>
        The Pony Express rode to town,
        With esteemed (and mature) Larry Brown.
        While Larry slurped prune juice,
        The Zags handed out abuse,
        Till Larry said, "Poop!" (That's a noun.)

            Our bigs will get their first real test
            OUr guards will carry the day
            Sabonis gets into foul trouble against SMU bigs in the first half coming back in second half with big production

            Both teams will play scrappy defense

              Close game until second half and then we pull away for a 12 point win......as long as we shoot 70%+ FTs and keep the TOs less than 12

                I agree about the Defence & don't see either team going over 70. I'll take the Zags by 10

                      I just don't see our team, as offensively awesome as they are, getting more than 70 or 75 against a Larry Brown coached team.

                        They will get it with defensive stops thus doubling up their chances on the offensive side of the game. Our 3 point consistency will make a mark IMO.

                          I think defense and rebounding will be key, win the boards and I think we win the game.

                            Somewhat sloppy at times but very tight game...

                              Double-Digit Win!

                              The Zags get 4th straight Double-Digit Win this season. ( I'm including exhibition games. )
