Memphis at Gonzaga, 9:00PM ET
Two of the hottest teams in the country will meet in a rare non-conference showdown on Saturday.
No. 14 Memphis, winners of 13 straight, take on surging Gonzaga with both teams looking for a signature win to help bolster their stock – and seeding – for the NCAA tournament. The No. 18 Bulldogs have won nine straight and assumed control of the West Coast Conference.
“We’ve had great games with them in past, but we need to break through and win one of them,” said Gonzaga coach Mark Few, whose teams have lost to Memphis the past three seasons.
The Tigers are one of relatively few college powers the Zags have lured to Spokane. Sure, Gonzaga has played heavyweights like Connecticut and Tennessee this season, but all those games have either been on the opponent’s court or at a neutral site.
Even this game is not at the on-campus McCarthey Athletic Center, where the Zags are 60-3 since it opened in 2004. Instead, they are playing in 11,000-seat Spokane Arena.
