Team Breakdown: Gonzaga - Carter Miller


Let's start off by talking about Gonzaga's best player, Jonathan Williams. Take a look at these stats: he has 13.6 points per game, 8.4 rebounds per game, and also 1.6 assists per game. That's an all-around threat. Then there is Rui Hachima, who scored 25 points against Ohio State in the round of 32.

As a team, Gonzaga's biggest win in the season was the time that they beat Portland 103-57. They are ranked twelfth in offense out of the whole country. They are in the WCC or the west coast conference and won their conference tournament by beating BYU 74-54. They were ranked first in there conference and seventh in the country. The most points that they scored this year was 105 but in that game they ended up losing to Florida 111-105. I think that Gonzaga is going to beat Florida State.

The Unbelievable Shot - Beck Willems and Tristan Mast

Michigan State and Syracuse tied at 22. But know one's shot will fall through. A defensive game for the two. Fans are thinking what will they do? If someone's shot would just fall, no one would have to worry at all! Michigan State has the ball, waiting for Tom Izzo to make the call. Five seconds on the clock. Hoping the ball won’t get blocked. Reversing the ball around the perimeter, the defender missed it by a centimeter. Now it’s time to take a shot. They need to hit it on the dot. Now they pass it to Matt McQuaid, open in the corner far away. Now he shoots! It’s tipped, it’s blocked! .9 seconds remaining on the clock. He catches it in mid air. He throws it up like he doesn’t care. It banks and swishes as buzzer blares. That shot he made is super rare! The crowd goes wild…but... This was not the Spartan victory though. Michigan State lost by two free throws.

Team Breakdown: Loyola-Chicago - Beck Willems

Loyola is an eleven seed in this year's NCAA tournament. They are in the sweet sixteen which is pretty amazing since an eleven seed making it to the sweet sixteen is uncommon. Although, they have earned their spot in the sweet sixteen by hitting two buzzer beaters to win the games against Tennessee and Miami. Clayton Custer a former Iowa State guard hit a miracle shot with very little time left against the high ranked tennessee team to advance onward to the sweet sixteen. Loyola may have hit some lucky shots, but they are a strong team capable of doing more damage in the tourney. The ramblers finished first in their conference regular season with a 15-3 record, and won their conference tournament beating Illinois state 65-49. Their overall record at the moment is 30-5. Leading Loyola to all their success is a 6-1 185 pound junior guard Clayton Custer. Custer averages 13.3 PPG, 2.2 RPG, and 4.2 APG so far this season. Loyola is ranked 63 in offense and 27 in defense. Loyola

Team Breakdown: Villanova - Zoe Willems

Villanova got in to the sweet 16 by beating Alabama 81-53, they also beat Radfored 87-61. The first two games were fairly easy for the Wildcats as they advance to the sweet sixteen. Villanova’s best players are Mikal Bridges and Jalen Brunson. Bridges is good because he averages 18 points and  rebounds 5.4 a game. Brunson averages 19 points and gets 4.7 assists a game. Villanova  is from the big East conference, they have won the big East tournament 8 times this year. Including this year. In their  regular season they were second, first was Xavier. Villanova has been one of the most impressive teams in the tournament this year. Villanova is the slowest team out of all teams left because they slow it down and create movement. Villanova has the best offense, and are ranked 19th in the country for their defense. Villanova will play West Virginia next. West Virginia beat Marshall in the tournament. I want Villanova to bet them them.
