Syracuse vs. Gonzaga: Keep Your Eye on Michael Gbinije vs. Eric McClellan

Gbinije has been Syracuse's most reliable weapon on offense, while McClellan has been the best perimeter defender for the 'Zags all season.

When it was announced headed into the season that Michael Gbinije would be Syracuse's starting point guard, it came as a surprise to many. Kaleb Joseph was the clear favorite for the position after he started at the point all of last season.

Gbinije quickly became a star at the point, averaging 17.8 points, 4 rebounds, and 4.4 assists per game to go along with shooting 41 percent from 3-point range.
