Here's everything you need to know to make a smart bet on UCLA vs. Gonzaga in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA men's basketball tournament.
March Madness is upon us. Here’s everything you need to know about the 2023 NCAA men’s and women’s basketball tournaments.The Bruins finished the regular season 21st in the nation in adjusted offensive efficiency and second in adjusted defensive efficiency. Since Clark’s injury, however, the Bruins haven fallen to 13th in adjusted defensive efficiency. That’s not a massive drop, but it’s clear the Bruins aren’t the same with Clark out.
The Zags are first in the nation in adjusted offensive efficiency, which isn’t all that surprising considering they still run their offense through superstar Drew Timme. He was a monster in Gonzaga’s win over Texas Christian, and he is poised to have a big game against UCLA. He is the best low-post player in the nation and reads the floor unbelievably well for a big man. Gonzaga also has reliable three-point shooters — the Zags rank ninth in three-point shooting percentage.
If Gonzaga can show up defensively, it’s going to be difficult for UCLA to win. The Zags are 83rd in adjusted defensive efficiency, but teams tend to play better defense when their seasons are at stake. And Gonzaga coach Mark Few knows this UCLA team well — the teams have played three times in the last three years.
