Tyler Smith is the consumate team leader. He is tough, athletic, gritty, and he knows how to win. Bruce Pearl will rely heavily on Mr. Smith to take this team back to the tourney and to try and beat Gonzaga tonight.
My Take:
This game is definitely going to be difficult, traveling into Summit Court and trying to dethrone the 37 game winning streak at home for Coach Pearls team. I expect a battle. Gonzaga knows how to beat Tennessee, they know their strengths and weaknesses, this is after all their second time playing them this season and third time in the last year. When the dust settles, if Mark Few can get his teams confidence back, there will be a big upset in Knoxville.
Final Score: Gonzaga 82 Tennessee 79
