There are plenty of big-time matchups that college basketball fans will be eyeing on Thursday in the 2016 NCAA Tournament First Round. However, one that people might be sleeping on to a degree is the final matchup on Thursday night in the Midwest Region as the Gonzaga Bulldogs take on the Seton Hall Pirates at the Pepsi Center.
Seton Hall was going to make it to the NCAA Tournament as an at-large bid, but they improved their seeding with a win in the Big East Tournament. Now they’ll be looking for Isaiah Whitehead to again create some magic under the bright lights of the NCAA Tournament, though the Pirates could unquestionably use help from Khadeen Carrington and Angel Delgado against the Zags.
