Scouting Reports: CS Northridge and N. Colorado

Note: Due to the low magnitude of the next two games, i decided to do a scouting report for both teams in one post.

The Matadors are led by seniors Jonathan Heard and Calvin Chitwood, both of whom have played very well this year. They also have an excellent Low post player in center Tremaine Townsend. The matadors have played well against every team they've played this year and currently stand at 6-1. Their only loss came at the hands of Duquesne who is playing very well in the A-10 this year. My Prediction: Gonzaga 92 CS Northridge 76.

The Bears are a fiesty team in the Big Sky conference. To put it in perspective, Gonzaga beat Montana by 23 earlier this year, and they are considered one of the best teams in their division. The bears are led by Jabril Banks and Sean Taibi. Banks is a stout JC transfer who has shown an excellent shooting touch this year shooting at almost 65%. Taibi is the resident senior leader who is very inconsistent. My Prediction: Gonzaga 95 N Colorado 67.

So basically get ready for a few weeks of really nothing serious, but be aware Oklahoma and Tennessee loom ahead, hopefully we'll be seeing Heytvelt and Gray suit up for both games.
