Dishing on the Dons: Bay Area reporter sizes up Gonzaga-San Francisco matchup

The preliminaries are pretty much over for Gonzaga. The Zags begin a pivotal six-game stretch to close the regular season, featuring two Quad 2 contests and three Quad 1s according to current NET rankings. It’s their chance to prove they should wear white uniforms as the higher seed in the NCAA Tournament’s opening round.
