Battle in Seattle game vs Gonzaga.

I ain't gonna lie I was more worried about the Zags game in Seattle then the dUKe game in Catlanta. I made a thread preseason about all the players they brought back and then they killed Baylor to start off the season. If we beat them in Seattle we deserve to be #1 with a bullet. I think Clemson will be tough at home but we have a better team and coach.

Clemson's center looks like he'd get winded before the first media timeout. I'm a big ol boy, so I know a fellow cheeseburger killer.
 
I think it will come down to how deep Gonzaga is.

How deep are they against a team that can easily keep three-to-four high-level perimeter assassins on the floor all night, and that happens to be leading the entire country in assists. (Which means guarding us requires a LOT of leg work for a LONG time.)

Not just how deep are they on paper because that's a different thing. Ask Jon Scheyer.
 
Looking at every team stat, we are nearly a perfect match to the Zags. It will come down to who can make 3s that night. This is going to be a nail biter for sure.

Is this considered a home game for the Zags or is it considered a neutral court with tickets split down the middle?
It’s neutral site as it’s 4 hours from the Gonzaga campus. Tickets aren’t split down the middle though. It’s a distribution like you would see when we played Seton Hall in NYC. Some seats reserved for specific team, but a majority first come-first served.

I'm by no means saying we can't beat the Zags because we can. I just noticed on the schedule when it came out even though we had dUKe the Zags game appeared to be tougher. Then I started looking up the team and noticed they brought back basically the top 4 starters, 4 key reserve's and a couple good left coast xfers.

It's gonna be a great game with 2 teams that go legit 9-10 deep and I gotta think Zags don't play in Seattle very often just like us.
