Xavier v. Norfolk State: preview, matchups, keys to the game

Norfolk State picked up a win in last season’s NCAA Tournament to gain the right to be Gonzaga’s first speed bump on their path the the title game. It was by far the less famous of the program's two NCAA Tournament wins, with their shocking upset of 2 seed Missouri in 2012 laying claim to that title. Anyway, they only bring back about a third of the minutes from their trip to the Big Dance, but will put a perfect record on the line when they step into the Cintas Center on Sunday.

Team Fingerprint:

Robert Jones is in his 9th season at the helm for the Spartans, but I would be lying if I said that his team had developed a playing identity during that time.
