Gonzaga vs Florida State NCAA 2010
The two teams in tonight’s match are an interesting matchup. Firstly, the Gonzaga Bulldogs, who battled through the WCC to an impressive 26-6 record, and ended with a number 8 seed. They will certainly be the favourites in this matchup, when they face off against the Seminoles. The Florida State Seminoles came through the ACC with a 22-9 record, but don’t let their underdog status fool you . There has barely been a single year where March Madness hasn’t thrown up a few shocks or surprises so let’s have a closer look at the Gonzaga Bulldogs and the Florida State Seminoles and see what they’re bringing to the game.
Gonzaga Preview
The Gonzaga Bulldogs had another great year in the West Coast Conference, taking the regular season crown with a 12-2 record. Their campaign included victories over WCC powers Saint Mary’s and Portland. In non-conference play, the Bulldogs had several key victories, including wins over Wisconsin, Illinois, Memphis, and Cincinnati. However, Gonzaga also got blown out by Duke by 35 points in a game at Madison Square Garden. They also lost to Loyola Marymount and San Francisco. This year’s Gonzaga squad features a bevy of talented scorers, including guard Matt Bouldin, forward Elias Harris, guard Steven Gray, and center Robert Sacre.
Florida State Preview
Opponents of the Florida State Seminoles are bound to be intimidated by the massive front court from Tallahassee. With Solomon Alabi at 7-1, Xavier Gibson at 6-11, and Chris Singleton at 6-9, Florida State is likely to stymie any teams that want to make lots of easy baskets. The question is, will the Seminoles be able to defend 3-pointers and make some of their own?
Leonard Hamilton’s Florida State Seminoles will certainly need to be on their best game if they’re going to be able to compete in this one. Their star, Solomon Alabi, will need to show the type of form for Florida State that he has been showing throughout the regular season in the ACC if they’re going to put up a fight against the higher ranked Bulldogs.Gonzaga Bulldogs’s 26-6 regular season record looks almost unbeatable in this matchup, but stranger things have happened
