Best Player:

Nate Linhart SF 6-8 205 SR
Linhart is a nice wing, can show athleticism at times, 81% FT shooter, keep him off the line...

My Take:
The Zags should roll pretty handily. I expect an early run from Akron, but nothing to much that the zags can't handle. This should be a nice first round matchup for the Zags.

Final Score: Gonzaga 92 Akron 70
