This might sound crazy considering Gonzaga is an 11 seed, but they could be the toughest opponent Syracuse basketball will meet until the Final Four. Why you ask? Because they have dominant big men.
All year, Syracuse basketball has struggled against bigs, and many times has made some very average players look stellar. Well tonight, they face a pair of extremely talented big men in Domantas Sabonis and Kyle Wiltjer. At 6’11 and 6’10 respectively, they could be the kryptonite to the Syracuse zone that has looked so unstoppable thus far in the tourney.
Gonzaga was most definitely seeded improperly coming into the tournament.
