It’s a battle of the backcourts in the Sin City. Can Ryan Nembhard and Nolan Hickman hold USC’s duo of Isaiah Collier (potential #1 2024 NBA Draft pick) and Boogie Ellis (potential 2024 late first, early second round pick) in place? Besides trying (and the Gonzaga bigs failing in the 2nd half) to slow down Zach Edey of Purdue, it’s the toughest test on the young season with this elite scoring duo standing in Gonzaga’s way. I haven’t even mentioned Kobe Johnson (14.2 PPG on 46.2 FG% and 39.1 3P%, 4.8 RPG, 3.0 APG, 3.0 SPG, 1.2 BPG) who seems to get lost in the limelight of all the talented guards available to Andy Enfield.
