*CBB(0.5u): Gonzaga -32 vs Northern Illinois–8 PM CT
Northern Illinois is the exact style of team that is going to get run off the floor vs the Gonzaga’s of the world. The Huskies are wretched on both ends of the floor, yet they run at the 50th fastest pace in the country. Poor efficiency + extending this game unnecessarily is going to lead to a crooked number.
This is a dream opponent for the Zags after playing one of the toughest schedules in the country up to this point. We all know they’ll score at will here, but what could maybe be argued is whether they’ll get stops at a consistent rate to cover this big number. Not only is Northern Illinois a poor shooting team(less than 44% from the floor), but they do none of the little things right; a 65% FT percentage and 0.7 assist/turnover ratio is a putrid combination.
Gonzaga wins this game by 40.
