Just like the Arizona Wildcats, the Saint Mary’s Gaels have only lost four times this season and went 16-2 in conference play. Three of those losses for SMC came at the hands of the Gonzaga Bulldogs.
When Arizona faced Gonzaga in L.A. back in December, one thing that stood out was how the Zags were able to have their way in the paint.
Well, the Gaels think the Wildcats are similar to Gonzaga down low.
“They’re pretty similar size-wise,” Calvin Hermanson explained. “Both teams have pretty good inside attack. Gonzaga did a pretty good job against us scoring down low, and obviously Arizona has got some big size down low as well, so we’re going to try and limit their points in the paint.
