Get your popcorn in hand because this is going to be a heavyweight fight. Two loaded teams from top to bottom and that’s me stating the obvious. Gonzaga has not only Drew Timme, but has added Chet Holmgren to the mix and the guy can flat out ball. On the other side, I think Paolo Banchers gives the Zags all they can handle. Give me the over in this game as I see this one easily going over 160.
