GU vs SMC (WCC Champ edition)- Predictions/Thoughts/What you do hope to see

[LongIslandZagFan]

Here we are. BYU taken down... Third game in the matchup. Zags won both. St. Mary's has been crafty these last two games and escaping trouble.

What are you expecting to see tomorrow night? Hoping to see? Thoughts? Predictions?

Have at it boys and girls!

Hope to see Kispert back on his game. Other than that, go take what's yours boys.

Hope to see a clean game. Now that the thug Cougars are gone, it should not be a problem. It is taking a monumental effort on my part not to troll their board.

From reading the post game press, St. Mary's went heavy on the physicality against BYU. I expect them to do the same tonight, and slow down the pace of the game. IIRC, they did the same thing against us a year ago. Our bigs are going to have to step up against that, though a healthy Killian will be a decided advantage for us.

Our defense has to be far better than it was against USF. I think the winning score will be in the 60s, so I'm going with Zags winning 68-62. We need the win to lock up the top seed in the West. Some may argue that winning last night did that for us, but Dayton and FSU are on the move.

Guard the 3-ball. Ford will play 40 minutes so let all 3 of our guards take turns guarding him.

Of course could be wrong but think zags will control game from the tip.
