Gonzaga and Drew Timme take on UConn and Adama Sanogo tonight. It's a contest of dominant post players we haven't seen in college basketball for a long time. It's been what, since Anthony Davis at Kentucky that there was a truly dominant big man in college hoops, and when have two great post players recently faced off in college basketball?
Timme is sort of a modern day Kevin McHale, just an absolute post playing savant. Sanogo doesn't have Timme's array of moves and instead overpowers opponents with his size and strength.
Interestingly, these guys are seen as late 2nd round picks in the NBA prospect universe because neither one is an elite athlete, but that shouldn't take away from the intrigue of this match-up.
UConn looks to be the deepest team left in the tournament, and is my favorite to win it all, but I wouldn't be the least bit surprise to see Gonzaga win tonight, and someone other than Gonzaga cutting down the net.
