Can't wait until Tuesday night. The Zags will face off against the #2 ranked, and very talented, Tar Heels.
This is going to be an awesome game. I feel like this is really going to show us how good, or bad, the Zags are this year. They have looked very good early in the season. They are playing as a team and show some great chemistry already. They manhandled Eastern (poor Stucky) and Rice already this year. Even with three very good players out (Gurganious, Downs, Burgess) they are already looking like a great competitive team that could do something in the tournament. I am so excited about their chances this year and this game will be a perfect measuring stick to see how good they could be this year. I hope they play the Heels tough, but who knows, maybe I'm just biased cuz they are my favorite team.
BTW: Downs is a 6'8" guard and a five star McDonalds All American that went to Kansas but decided to move back closer to home. He average 24.8 ppg and 12.2 rpg in high school.
Gurganious was a fantastic freshman that played a lot of minutes last year and shows a lot of promise.
Burgess is a 6'10" 270 pound big man that was highly recruited out of high school he transferred to Gonzaga after one year at BYU. Some of the teams that recruited him out of high school were UCLA, Florida, BYU, Louisville, Utah, Oregon, Oregon State. So hopefully he will be another go to guy inside.
He averaged 19 ppg and 13 rpg in high school.
