There are two very clear issues facing the Gonzaga Bulldogs right now—overall defense and turnovers. One or the other of those issues would be bad enough and make it hard to win games against elite teams. Combine the two and you can essentially kiss any hopes of a competitive score goodbye.
Gonzaga has only two losses to two very good teams in Purdue and Texas. However, Gonzaga didn’t merely lose those games, they lost by substantial amounts, 18 points, and 19 points respectively. The last time the Zags came anywhere close to those levels of disappointment are in the 2019-10 season, in which Gonzaga lost to Kansas State by 17 and Washington State by 21.
