Gonzaga vs. UConn: Game preview

The No. 3 Gonzaga Bulldogs and the No. 4 Connecticut Huskies will face off in the Elite Eight for a chance to advance to the Final Four. For the Zags, it would be a return trip since 2021. For UConn, not since 2014, when they won a natty on top.

The Zags needed to muster everything they could to get here. Gonzaga overcame a 13-point deficit and absolutely silenced the UCLA offense in the second half of their Sweet 16 matchup. Nothing comes easy for this squad and Julian Strawther, the home town hero, buried a three in the closing seconds to give the Zags yet another exciting March Madness victory.
