BYU will end a two-week hiatus when they travel to Spokane Thursday to play #2 Gonzaga. BYU’s last game was a 87-79 win 12/23 versus Weber State, and BYU’s first three WCC games were postponed due to COVID-19 cases in other programs. Gonzaga was moved to Thursday to replace BYU’s previously scheduled game versus Pacific and the Zags will provide a monumental challenge, opening as a 19-point Vegas favorite.
In short, the Zags do just about everything well. They have always had elite bigs, now they have elite guard play to go along with it. Freshman point guard Jalen Suggs is a potential #1 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft and has been even better than advertised.
