I have read and understand the confidence posters have in stating that we should be able to get to the rim and score easily against the Zags...however we have also seen this team just be horrible on O settling for deep 3's and not attacking the rim at all. We don't have a post-up game and we only have 2 dribble drive guys (I guess counting Frank it's 2.5). Making jump shots is a dicey proposition unless you are the Golden State Warriors.

Our D has been active thus far in the tournament,but this is not one of our vintage defensive teams. Gonzaga is light years better on O than our first 2 opponents and they are going to hit the mid 60's at least. Can we keep scoring?
 
I actually like the match up with Gonzaga's defense. Obviously we are capable of laying an egg and having a horrible shooting night against anyone. But that ends the season no matter who the opponent is. I expect Gonzaga to get to about 66 points on us but I think we can break 70 on them specifically because Wiltjer and Sobonis will play a lot of minutes and I like our chances putting them in the high ball screen action. Wiltjer especially is going to be who we look to exploit.
 
What's the difference between driving to the hoops and dribble driving? I don't think I've ever heard the term more than I have in the past couple of weeks.
