Gonzaga Vs Kansas Predictions

[zagsfanforlife]

Whatever the Vegas line is, add 10 to it for the new look Zags.

Line will be around Zags -2. Kenpom has zags as 2 point faves.

Kansas will be less experienced when the season starts.
GU 78
Kansas 72

Yeah, but our freshman PG will be playing in his first NCAA game, against one of the best teams in the country.

GU 88, KU 84

I would like to guarantee a victory by picking Kansas (like when I picked Duke in Maui 2 years ago)

But I think that our experience (except at guard) wins out

Z 85
K 81

VERY tight game with LOTS OF MISTAKES by both teams. Probably a lot of defensive breakdowns.

Thanks Kidwell...poems are always appreciated....

...I miss Tito.

Thanks, 3X. You forgot your pick and score!

Zags...?
Kansas...?

Zags 88-80 exciting game to start the season.

Us. 83
Them 78

101 to 83 Zags. High scoring because I don't think defenses are developed yet. I also think with our aggressive style of play we will have a couple of their players in foul trouble.

[MyZags]

Individually all our guys are high caliber. No doubt. The question is how well did they adapt to Few’s system with limited off season meetings, practices and the like. The leadership of Kispert and Timme will help settle nerves and aides second half adjustments.

Zags- 79
Kansas-66

I just wish the guys actually had a cupcake to open the season before starting this front-loaded schedule - am I correct that there are no exhibitions either?

What the heck is "Rock Chalk" anyway?

Wikipedia says: The chant was first adopted by the university's science club in 1886. Chemistry professor E.H.S. Bailey and his colleagues were returning by train to Lawrence after a conference. During their travel, they discussed a need of a rousing yell. They came up with "Rah, Rah, Jayhawk, Go KU",[1] repeated three times, which later became "Rock Chalk Jayhawk Go KU".

Yea Go Science Club!

[Malastein]

It’s the worst sound I’ve ever heard. I really hope this is an epic blowout! Let’s go Zags!

[MDABE80]

GU by 8. We're strong. We need a no 1 ranking for the rest of the season. We need a title too.

Thanks for the encouragement Kidwell...

On this board for 20 years more often then most (2 to 4 times daily), but choose to stay clear of some of the more 'lively' discussions....but I will join in on the perdictions scores this year.

Kraziness had a lot of points for a 16 minute scrimage. Our guys will run, pace will be quick, so 90+ for our side. The question is will our increased athletism translate to team cohesion and create positive containment on the D side. I think at guard we hold our own...but struggle a little with inside D...thank God that is where Kansas is a bit inexperienced.

92-86 zags...

Happy to see the prediction thread start up again (seems like it has been a lifetime since end of the WCC tourney).
