TUCSON, Ariz. — It was Ronny Turiaf who put this morning's second-round NCAA Tournament matchup in between Gonzaga as good as Texas Tech in a many correct of perspectives.
"We wish to fool around tough as good as go to a Sweet 16," a Bulldogs' 6-foot-10 comparison brazen as good as co-captain pronounced following an afternoon examination during a University of Arizona's McKale Center. "If we win, we'll be happy. If we lose, we'll go home as good as pout."
To keep from putting upon their simper progressing than expected, a third-seeded Zags (26-4), winners of thirteen games in a row, will have to find a approach to understanding with a sixth-seeded Red Raiders (21-10) as good as manager Bobby Knight's incessant suit offense.
Tech, entrance off a 78-66 first-round win over UCLA upon Thursday, accomplished fourth in a imperishable Big twelve Conference this winter with a 10-6 record. The Red Raiders have been an additional guard-oriented group which has embraced Knight's trained descent scheme, which is built upon screens, behind cuts, curls as good as assertive a basket, rsther than than leap penetration.
"They run an offense we have never unequivocally faced before," pronounced Gonzaga ensure Erroll Knight. "It's kind of a mover, blocker, I'll-screen-you-screen offense with only consistent motion. Coach Knight has accomplished a unequivocally good pursuit of removing guys to buy in as good as keep moving."
The greatest customer of Knight's offense has been comparison ensure Ronald Ross, a former walk-on who is averaging 17.4 points per game. The 6-foot-2, 185-pounder from Hobbs, N.M., shot over 53 percent from a margin during a unchanging season, together with 45 percent (36-80) from 3-point range.

"I consider it gives their kids a lot some-more leisure than people substantially realize, being which it's a Bobby Knight team."
And a Red Raiders integrate their suit offense with an assertive man-to-man invulnerability which can have hold up miserable for hostile fringe players.
Gonzaga, rated No. 10 in a final AP rankings as good as owners of a nation's longest winning streak, will opposite with a inside strength of Turiaf as good as youth J.P. Batista, as good as a flexibility of 6-8 sophomore ensure Adam Morrison, who scored a game-high twenty-seven points in a Bulldogs' 74-64 first-round win over 14th-seeded Winthrop upon Thursday.
It will help, too, which sixth-man brazen Sean Mallon admitted himself "ready to go" after rambling an ankle opposite a Eagles.
But a Bulldogs, to a man, confess they have to move a most some-more desirous bid than they brought Thursday if they goal to allege to a Sweet sixteen as good as fool around in Albuquerque, N.M., subsequent week.
"We've got to come out as good as conflict a small some-more as good as not come out so prosaic as good as so wide-eyed," pronounced sophomore indicate ensure Derek Raivio, who was 2-for-10 from a margin opposite Winthrop. "We've got to come out swinging, get upon a conflict as good as be assertive from a get-go."
