The Spokesman-Review's Jim Meehan and Zag alum/tv commentator Richard Fox report on howGU Bulldogs know how to dance - you can't fake your way into a Sweet Sixteen. Zags are facing Perdue - both guys picked them to get this far, but the 21 point wins on the way were very impressive.
Recap of McNeese State game - McNeese tried to shut down the 3 pointers, which opened up inside game, but the Zags were always a step ahead. When the McNeese pressure had no impact, they had no plan B to try and take GU down. Fox breaking down the stats confirmed that the Zags did an excellent job executing the scouting plans and were prepared to play on both ends.
Kansas game was so high level on both ends throughout the game - because as Meehan tweeted "are you not entertained?" The Jayhawks were higher ranked with a few pros and all Americans, the Zags pulled away in the 2nd half. Zags shot 67% and Jayhawks shot 28% in the second half and the Zags were great at keeping the ball out of Dickinson's hands. GU's freshman did great with solid play.
Purdue preview - the way GU is playing right now is completely different then the last time they met. However, job one this time around is to try and shut down 7'4" Zach Edey...a bad night for him is a double double bc he's gonna score, but attention to the rest of the Purdue team needs to be paid.
The guys are predicting a win. Not a blow out game, and no one is saying it'll be easy, but the guys are calling for a W.
