UCLA vs Gonzaga

[YearoftheHusky]

Who do we match up better with? Both are going to be difficult.

 

[PNolanFan]

I want gonzaga to win, think our perimeter could destroy them

 

[huskyjawz]

I don't know either

 

[heffe]

We want Timme

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

I think we match up slightly better with Gonzaga and I really want to see Sanogo vs Timme.

But Cronin v Hurley would be a lot of fun also.

I’m happy with either matchup tbh.

 

[MexicoHusky]

I need to watch this game a bit, but we may match up more favorably against UCLA. Tough call though.

 

[auror]

Gonzaga more of a glass cannon all offense (best offense in the country, decent defense). UCLA slow and grindy, a little more balanced but shaded toward elite defense (#2 defense and very good offense).

Neither team is elite on the boards, so we should have advantage there against both.

UCLA forces turnovers (although less without Clark), so maybe we'd rather have Gonzaga? But Gonzaga has better shooters, especially with Singleton banged up.

I think maybe UCLA just because they're banged up and will be playing 48 hours after. But they have the better PG, so maybe Gonzaga?

 

[UConnSwag11]

Either one would be our toughest matchup of the season, but I think Gonzaga would be our best matchup. They’re two really good teams and they have experience

 

[Mister P]

Zags. I’ll take our defense against their very good offense. I also think that we can score plenty on the Zag defense.
UCLA has a real good defense that may give us trouble.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

I want whoever wins. It'll be a better challenge.

 

[UConnSwag11]

UCLA got this game

 

[Tyler2Rings]

I hope it's UCLA just to play against Mick.

 

[TRest]

We could drop a hundee on the Zags.

 

[jorge34]

UCLA is not a great matchup with a PG that will cause problems

 

[EastConn'er]

I'd rather stick it to UCLA and Cronie much more...
But I'd love to see a Sanogo vs Timme match up... that would be fun to see. I like Gonzaga, so I'm not sure I want to face them. I'm torn who I want. I'd love to see UCLA go down either way....

 

[YearoftheHusky]

Yeah as I am watching this, I don’t want UCLA anymore.

 

[gsmooth]

tough opponent either way. Both UCLA and Gonzaga fanbases travel really well to Las Vegas so UConn will be a true road team including the uniforms as well.

 

[kobebeanbryant]

Feel like we match up better on Timme w/ Sanogo/Clingan vs. Jaquez (not sure who we would put on him…)

 

[Tyler2Rings]

Oh and also rooting for an OT, or 2, or 3...

 

[connVA]

Tyger Campbell is going to be a problem

Best summary of basically every deep round tourney game. Pick your poison. Well.played!

 

[KingAG]

Give me the zags I trust our defense

[Tommyboy]

Not great D in this game.

 

[EnochRoot]

TIMMAH! is so good.

 

[wingsfan055]

Adem Bona is a big loss for UCLA. Not sure if he would play Saturday. Still, I'd rather play Gonzaga because they they have the much lesser defense of the two.

 

[UC17]

UCLA defensive pressure worries me with our past issues this year…

 

[WhereistheDove?]

I want Gonzaga. Sanogo will eat Timme’s lunch down low. He looks totally disinterested on the defensive end of the floor.
