How do Zags match up against Davison?

This one is a scary one. I hate when they match the Zags up with other top notch mid-majors. It takes the underdog aspect out of the equation.

Another reason I worry is because Davidson is guard dominated and a team that shoots more three's than any other. Zags haven't defended well against three point shooting teams for a couple years now. If you look at the Zags' losses this year its because of the opponent's guard play (except Oklahoma). Even when they lost to Texas Tech, it was a guard for them that went off for 28.

I like the matchup with Georgetown. I think we play well against teams with a strong front court. UNC last year, UCONN this year.

I sure hope they play like they are capable of. I'm tired of wanting so much for this team and being dissappointed. Not necessarily when they lose, but when they don't even show up. Zags have lost that tournament edge that they used to have. People would pick them as their darlings every year, even when they were the higher seed, and now because of too many lack luster tournament appearances, people have lost faith.

Zags have to win, I would love to see them matched up against Georgetown. It would be a win that would get the nation back in their corner. It would be the kind of win that solidifies recruiting for the next 3-4 years. GO ZAGS

Maybe I'm overly optimistic, but I think Gonzaga should be in pretty good shape unless Curry gets ridiculously hot from 3. More than anything it comes down to the fact that Gonzaga is taller at basically every position on the floor and on the bench. Add to that the fact that Gonzaga has 3 players on that bench that would most likely start for Davidson and you're looking at a pretty favorable matchup for Gonzaga.

It will be interesting to see how this one plays out, but unless Curry puts the team on his shoulders, I see Gonzaga winning pretty easily. Here's hoping...

I personally haven't seen Curry play, but I find it hard to believe he's any better than Pargo.  He does score a bit more than Pargo, but you have to consider that Curry is the only real scoring option on the team, so he should be scoring a ton.

As far as their win streak...it looks very impressive until you look at the competition.  Davidson started the season 4-6 including losses to Western Michigan, Charlotte, and NC State.  Magically when they started playing the horrible teams in their conference they put together a string of victories.  Their only decent win in the streak (and only win against a tournament team) was against Winthrop. It's pretty safe to say that Gonzaga, St. Mary's, and probably even San Diego would have the exact same streak and most likely wouldn't have lost to any of the 3 teams I listed above if they had played the same schedule.

I'm really interested to see if they actually improved that much over the course of the season or if this is that same 4-6 team that just happened to play a bunch of terrible teams. I'm hoping it's the latter, but even if it's the former I still think they're outmatched.
