The Zags could have and probably should have been higher than an 8-seed. That's unfortunate for Georgia, who will be bounced in the first round.

UGA relies on offensive rebounding and getting to the foul line on offense, but Gonzaga ranks 19th in defensive rebounding and 33rd in opponent free-throw attempt rate. The Zags' stout and experienced frontcourt will cause problems for Georgia on both ends of the court. Gonzaga also ranks 6th in near-proximity shooting percentage, 95th in offensive rebounding rate, and 33rd in second-chance conversion rate off offensive rebounds.
