How the Gonzaga Bulldogs can avoid first round upset to Grand Canyon | Kaylynne Truong is an All-American

Previous Episode: Why Gonzaga will win the National Championship | Why they won't | Drew Timme was snubbed

Next Episode: Grand Canyon's path to the NCAA Tournament | Stopping Drew Timme key for an upset | Can Arizona State upset TCU?

The Gonzaga Bulldogs have not lost in the first round of the NCAA Tournament since 2008, but a date with a very good shooting Grand Canyon team has the recipe for an upset written all over it.

The Lopes, coached by Bryce Drew, didn't have a great regular season - going 24-11 and only beating one NCAA Tournament team in Montana State. But they got hot in Las Vegas and won the WAC Championship, and with a 38.3% mark from deep as a team and a star in Ray Harrison they are a dangerous 14 seed for Mark Few's team to take on.

Today we look at five keys for the Zags to secure a victory, including pounding the ball to Drew Timme, pressuring GCU's guards, and defending that precious perimeter.

We close out the show discussing the Lady Zags and their 8-9 matchup against Ole Miss at Stanford. Kaylynne Truong and her outside shooting will be a key for a Bulldogs victory - and we also celebrate her being named an All-American Honorable Mention.
