Bulldogs should dominate in March Madness First Round matchup (unknown)

Thursday's matchup between the No. 1 Gonzaga Bulldogs and No. 16 Georgia State Panthers will begin at 4:15 p.m. ET.

At their best, the Bulldogs are still the best team in the nation. Georgia State ranks 342nd in the nation in 3-point defense, and the Panthers’ typically terrific interior defense has no hope for success against the unfamiliar length and skill of Drew Timme and Chet Holmgren. They lead all of college basketball in shooting percentage and effective defensive field goal percentage, and are a worthy favorite to win it all.

College Basketball World Getting Worried About Gonzaga (unknown)

Gonzaga doesn't look like the No. 1 seed we were expecting to see in the first round of the 2022 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament.

Gonzaga is the most popular pick to win the championship in this year’s bracket. Right now, Georgia State is only down two after 20 minutes. The Zags are struggling to put away 16-seed Georgia State in the first round of the Big Dance. Typically, one seeds lead 16 seeds by at least double digits at the half.

Good teams will adjust and counter to post-up plays for Timme or isolation sets for Nembhard to keep the Zags one-dimensional and limit their scoring options. There’s a reason why the Bulldogs are the No. 1 overall seed again, and it’s been on display all year long through their collective focus and connectivity that is rare to see in college basketball. There aren’t many programs in the country that even come close to the level of efficiency Mark Few’s squad has played with this season. Sometimes it boiled down to making and missing shots, but in general, stagnant offense that resorted to isolation plays was the culprit behind these letdowns. Last year’s postseason was proof that he can be dominant at any point during a ballgame, and with the right spacing, the paint is all his to own. Familiarity with some of these programs should bode well for the Zags, who solved the Red Raiders and Longhorns earlier this season, but teams that drain the shot clock and move the ball well pose an interesting challenge. As the initiator of the nation’s best offense, Nembhard has quietly been one of the best point guards in college basketball this season. In a close contest, his steady hand is a luxury for the Zags. Taking care of the basketball has hardly been an issue this season, as the senior’s 3.2 assist-to-turnover ratio trailed only UCLA’s Tyger Campbell and Richmond’s Jacob Gilyard among guards that are in the tournament. Skill might reign superior in the regular season, but that all changes in the postseason. Upsets brought about new storylines and wrinkles to the narrative until the very end, when over half of the AP top-10 teams lost in stunning fashions to conclude what was a historic regular season. There’s no counting stat that can measure poise in high-pressure situations, which is a reason why games aren’t won on paper but on the court.

Here's everything to know about betting on Gonzaga vs. Memphis in the 2022 NCAA Tournament, including updated odds, trends and our prediction for the second- ...

Gonzaga will pull away in the final 10 minutes of an otherwise tight game with an offense that proves to be much. A shootout won't favor the Tigers, and the key will be for its guards to control tempo, especially in the second half. Timme will be the X-factor, however. Memphis is shooting 47.1% from the floor as a team and has a top-25 defense at 39.6%. The Tigers can have decent percentages, but can they weather the scoring runs from the Bulldogs for 40 minutes? The Holmgren-Duren matchup will be fun. He took one 3-pointer this season, but he will test Holmgren and Timme in the post. Duren, a 6-11, 250-pound center, led the Tigers in the regular season with 12.2 points and 8.1 rebounds. Bates was a highly-touted recruit from Ypsilanti, Mich., but the 6-9, 190-pound forward has had ups-and-downs in his freshman season. Gonzaga (27-3) beat No. 16 Georgia State 93-72 in the first round. Memphis (22-10) squeaked into the NCAA tournament, but it beat No. 8 Boise State 64-53 in the first round. He's a unicorn with the ability to bring the ball up the floor. Holmgren shot 41.2% from 3-point range on 97 attempts, and he will test Duren on the perimeter with his skill-set.

Memphis basketball vs. Gonzaga in NCAA Tournament 2022: Score ... (The Commercial Appeal)

If Memphis basketball is to advance to the Sweet 16, it will have to knock off Gonzaga, the No. 1 overall seed, in March Madness.

Freshman Jalen Duren, a 6-10 specimen, himself a projected NBA lottery pick, is a skilled and athletic big who will be leaned on to make life difficult for Timme and/or Holmgren on both ends of the floor. For Holmgren, it's north of 20% of the time. They rank 268th in the nation forcing opponents to commit turnovers on just 16.9% of their possessions. Drew Timme, the 6-foot-10 junior who led Gonzaga with 32 points against Georgia State and was The Athletic's pick for preseason national player of the year, averages 17.5 points per game for the No. 1 offense in the country. The Gonzaga offense runs through Timme on more than 28% of possessions. Chet Holmgren, the 7-foot freshman and projected No. 1 overall pick in this year's NBA Draft, is putting up 14.2 points a game and is the fourth-leading shot-blocker in the country.
