What you need to know about Gonzaga

The Bulldogs lead the nation in scoring, averaging 92.8 points per game and they're one of the most efficient offenses in NCAA history with a 55.4 percent team shooting percentage. Kispert (19.2 ppg), Drew Timme (19.0 ppg), Jalen Suggs (13.9 ppg) and Ajayi (11.5 ppg) are all averaging in double-figures in scoring and are all capable of taking over at various stages of the game offensively.

San Diego relied on the efforts of guard Joey Calcaterra, who had 23 points, and center Vladimir Pinchuk, who dropped a double-double on 13 points and ten rebounds. Calcaterra leads the team in scoring (14.1 ppg) and Gonzaga will have to shadow him constantly on the perimeter because he's a 40.6 percent 3-point shooter.
