Game Preview
The Gonzaga Bulldogs, fresh off a comeback win over Michigan State, will travel to Texas to take on the undefeated Longhorns. Gonzaga pulled out a very intense win over the Spartans on board the USS Abraham Lincoln. The 14th-ranked Longhorns are also 2-0 on the season but this will be their first real test of the season.
Gonzaga is 2-0 on the season thanks to a thrilling 64-63 win over Michigan State on Friday night. All-American Drew Timme poured in 22 points and added 13 rebounds as the Zags rallied from being down by as many as 12 points in the win. Julian Strawther nearly has a double-double alongside Timme with 13 points and nine rebounds in the win.
The Bulldogs are averaging 84 points per game through their first two contests. They are shooting 54% from the field and holding the opposition to 39% overall. They are only shooting 30% from beyond the arc as they have run their offense mainly through the interior. They have nine blocks in two games and 26 steals.
On the other hand, the Texas Longhorns have a chance to avenge last season’s opening loss in Gonzaga, 86-74. The Longhorns were welcoming a new coach, Chris Beard, and a new scheme against the #1 ranked team in the country at that time. This season, Texas returns three starters from last season’s 22-win team and has a better understanding of Beard’s offensive and defensive philosophy.
The Texas defense has taken center stage over the first two games of the season. They have held the opposition to 30% shooting overall and 23% from three-point range. The Longhorns are also winning the rebounding battle with an 83-65 edge through two games. They are shooting 53% overall from the field but, like the Zags, have not been lethal from the 3pt line.
