Gonzaga beat San Francisco this past Saturday in a hard fought, back-and-forth battle. The offense scored 96 points against a top 50 defense, proving once again that it’s the best in the country. Gonzaga’s defense, however, still has some question marks. Some of them are starting to work themselves out. Some of them may be here all season. The additions of Killian Tillie and Geno Crandall helped mightily and were probably the difference between a win and a loss on Saturday.
USF’s offense is tough to defend. Kyle Smith is a Randy Bennett disciple, which means his teams are incredibly patient.
