Gonzaga-USC gonna be fun. Gonzaga's skill on offense vs USC's length on D. USC can shoot well enough to win that game tbqh.

USC is shooting 50% from 3 in the tournament so far and looking back at recent Gonzaga seasons they've frequently come up short against bigger programs with better athletes. 

In 2015 they were 35-2 and lost to Duke in the Elite 8.

In 2016 they were 28-5 and lost to Syracuse in the Sweet 16.

In 2017 they were 37-1 and lost to North Carolina in the National Championship.

In 2018 they were 32-4 and lost to Florida State in the Sweet 16.

In 2019 they were 33-3 and lost to Texas Tech in the Elite 8.

I've been calling it, USC to the Final 4. Gonzaga always chokes in the tournament against Power 5 schools in the tournament. In their last 6 tournament appearances they've lost to Arizona (2nd round), Duke (E8), Syracuse (S16), North Carolina (NCG), Florida State (S16), Texas Tech (E8).

What an interesting match up. USC just doesn’t have the guard play to really effect Gonzaga. Gonzaga will force them to speed up and just blast them off the court. Fire power is just not there to make this a close game. Gonzaga could always have an off day which could happen and that would USC best chance but not likely.
