Does Gonzaga have a chance against Duke?

[dukedevilz]

I know most of the buzz is centered on the Ohio State-Duke game next week. Obviously Duke should be favored to heavily beat the Zags on Friday. Gonzaga only has like 5 or 6 NBA guys on their team; they're sneaky good. And that Chet guy is sneaky athletic. I feel like this is one of those classic trap games. We can't be looking ahead. I'm a little worried Duke is overlooking the Zags. How does everyone foresee this game turning out?

Don’t feel good about the game at all. Fully prepared to lie and tell people I went to bed early on Friday, didn’t see a second, and downplay how much I care about basketball in general come Saturday.

Not saying Chet will be AD, but he has a similar build and playing style. AD had some trouble in 11-12 with bulkier, stronger big men. Duke has some big bodies, and it can at least make it uncomfortable for Chet to want to bang down low. I would say that’s Dukes best chance, make the game physical and don’t let the Zags play their game.

I think Zags win by single digits. To be intellectually honest, Texas and UCLA are undersized in general, but moreso with playing the Zags without Disu (texas) and Cody Riley (Ucla). Match ups are a real thing in college. Duke has big size. To have a shot Keels, Griffin and Roach need big games. I think Moore, Williams and Banchero will have big games. UCLA and Texas were scared of the lane. Duke won't have that problem. They are built for the zags maybe more than anyone. But, their guards are young young. So is zags outside of nembhard.

Plus Chet is not the fastest guy and I'm thinking Duke is going to want to run.

While 8 on 5 will be a lot to overcome, I think they're up for the challenge.

"The game just isn't the same anymore. I'm really losing interest."

I think is possibly the second best team in the nation so this game will say a lot about the Zags as well as Duke IMO.

Outside of the Kentucky game, the OOC season has been extremely boring. I'm ready to feel tension again.
