There’s truth behind the thinking that defense wins championships, but the person that made that quote didn’t have to play against this Zags team.

They have been lights out on the floor with the team averaging 55.1 percent shooting. It’s basically money on every single possession. Virginia can come out and play great defense at the start, but it’s only a matter of time before they break and good shooting perimeter teams will beat Virginia.

And then the floodgates will open.

The Zags should get there by double digits here on Saturday evening.
