Five Reasons Gonzaga Can Reach The Final Four

3) Dominant Rebounding

Another great way to squash a team with Cinderella aspirations is to kill them on the boards. It wouldn’t be a surprise if Gonzaga doubled up North Dakota State in the rebound category. The Bison don’t start anyone taller than 6’6″. And same goes for Davidson if the Zags end up playing them in the round of 32.

Przemek Karnowski is a dominating force in the middle, and the size and length of Kyle Wiltjer and Domantas Sabonis gives Gonzaga one of the more formidable front lines in the country.
