NCAA Tournament
12:10pm (8) Gonzaga vs. (1) Syracuse - so after a day of upsets, victories and heartbreak without any Canadians in the mix, today we have a game that will feature the most Canuck men in a single NCAA Tournament game, if not NCAA game ever. Gonzaga with Rob Sacre, Kelly Olynyk, Manny Arop and Bol Kong will take on Syracuse featuring Andy Rautins and Kris Joseph. This will be a big game indeed. Sacre was excellent in the win over Florida State Friday posting 13 points and 9 rebounds. Both Olynyk and Kong played sparingly in the game with Coach Mark Few shortening his bench and Arop was out with a broken foot. On the flipside, Rautins and Joseph played equally well with both posting 8 boards and 6 assists. Joseph also added 8 points and 3 steals while Rautins contributed a steal and 13 points. This is going to be a good, intense one to watch but bear in mind that both teams have been a little on the unpredictable side. If both teams come to play then it will be fun to watch. But if one of them is playing half awake (think Zags vs. Loyola Marymount and Syracuse vs. Georgetown in the Big East Tourney) then it will be a runaway win for someone.
