They are a side that enjoys applying pressure to its opponents, thus forcing mistakes will be crucial in this match. They will be fine if they can keep forcing turnovers in this area.

After defeating to the top team in the nation, the Golden Eagles have gotten to 5-0 on the campaign and now aim to defeat the #2 side in the nation. The impending arrival of Edey at the low block presents a challenge for the Golden Eagles that neither Gonzaga nor Tennessee were able to solve.
