Pacific is trying just like the worst staff within the West Coast Convention. Wouldn’t be stunned if the Tigers go winless in convention play (looks like the bathroom bowl towards San Diego will determine that). This matchup shouldn’t be a lot of an issue for the Zags however this is a chance to tune issues up and provides among the bench items extra reps.
Getting comfy on the free throw line, proper on the high of the record. Gonzaga can’t win video games towards Saint Mary’s, Santa Clara on the Kennel, or USF once more on the Chase Heart with out making the freebies.
If all goes to in response to plan towards Pacific, Jun Seok Yeo ought to have the possibility to see much more motion. With the center of WCC competitors arising (and a visit to Kentucky), it will be useful for the South Korean native to be higher ready if he was to be thrown into the combination in sure spots down the street. The extra assist off the bench you could get with this staff, the higher.

The purpose guard for the Tigers would be the high distributor and the Zags look to zero in on him. Try this and Pacific’s offense comes to an entire halt. Saint Mary’s succeeded in that on Thursday and ended up successful by an insane margin, 76-28.
The Zags at the moment are in Stockton able to battle the Tigers at 7 PM PT on ESPN+. This seems to be to be a rising second for this Gonzaga unit in what needs to be a beatdown of Pacific.
