Arizona got outcoached
Knowing that Gonzaga is loaded with big, physical frontcourt players, Sean Miller said rebounding was the key heading into Saturday’s game.
So he was just surprised as anyone that the Bulldogs ditched their usual two-big setup to go small and put 6-foot-7 Corey Kispert at the 4, a move Miller thought allowed the Bulldogs to break the game open in the second half when they led by as many as 16.
