The Zags offense &#8211; led by Wooden Award contender Nigel Williams-Goss (16.4 points, 4.7 assists) &#8211; is 11th in the country at 85.2 PPG, while their defense is 8th at 61.1 PPG. They are 6th in offensive efficiency per KenPom.com, and 3rd in defense &#8211; the only team in the country in the top 10 in both categories. They&#8217;ve been particularly elite in\u00a0limiting opponents from beyond the arc. They&#8217;re allowing opponents to shoot just 29 percent from deep, the 2nd-lowest percentage in the country.<\/p>\n<h3>Team Weaknesses:<\/h3>\n<p>The Zags aren&#8217;t much of a 3-point shooting team. Although they have a decent percentage (38%), they take just under 20 per game, which is 228th in the country. They don&#8217;t shoot too many 3s in part because they don&#8217;t need to, but it remains to be seen whether they actually have that in their arsenal\u00a0if they find themselves down big in the tourney.<\/p>\n<h3>Team Stats:<\/h3>\n<table class=\"table-bordered\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Category<\/th>\n<th>Stat<\/th>\n<th>NCAA Rank<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Points Per Game<\/th>\n<th>85.2<\/th>\n<th>11<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Rebounds Per Game<\/th>\n<th>40.7<\/th>\n<th>6<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Blocks Per Game<\/th>\n<th>3.3<\/th>\n<th>163<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>3-Point Percentage<\/th>\n<th>38.1%<\/th>\n<th>52<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Free Throw Percentage<\/th>\n<th>73.4%<\/th>\n<th>73<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3>Starting Lineup:<\/h3>\n<table class=\"table-bordered\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Position<\/th>\n<th>Name<\/th>\n<th>PPG<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>C<\/th>\n<th>Przemek Karnowski<\/th>\n<th>12.3<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>F<\/th>\n<th>Johnathan Williams<\/th>\n<th>10.1<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>F<\/th>\n<th>Jordan Mathews<\/th>\n<th>10.7<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>G<\/th>\n<th>Nigel Williams-Goss<\/th>\n<th>16.4<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>G<\/th>\n<th>Josh Perkins<\/th>\n<th>8.8<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3>Writer\u2019s Prediction<\/h3>\n<p>Another promising season once again falls short for Gonzaga (<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/basketball\/2017-ncaa-championship\" target=\"_blank\">+1,100<\/a><\/strong>)\u00a0as the Zags bow out in the Elite Eight.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/6\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Create a betting account now<\/a> and cash in on all the NCAAB action.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4zulQmTAVK722Nd7ZgqdRLk\/56\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-134651\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/March_Madness_News_Banners_620x110.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"110\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"134129\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;2,246&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;2&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gonzaga Bulldogs (Overall: 32-1, Conf: 17-1) Team Strengths: Gonzaga (+1,100)\u00a0is doing just about everything well this season.
