GU, Memphis try to boost NCAA stock

Pop quiz: Who is Gonzaga’s fourth leading scorer after the Big Three of Gray, Sacre and Harris? I was surprised. Answer below.

Here’s a link to my GU-Memphis preview that will run in Saturday’s S-R. A couple of relevant links: Few mentions that Memphis had the No. 1 recruiting class in the country. More here . Also, Bleacherreport.com earlier this week listed GU No. 4 and Memphis No. 6 in its top eight disappointments in college basketball this season.

It’s Sam Dower, at 6.9 points per game. Kelly Olynyk is next at 6.4. Seven Zags (Gray, Harris, Sacre, Goodson, Olynyk, Arop and Monninghoff) have played more minutes than Dower’s 288, and two others (Stockton 283 and Carter 278) are in Dower’s neighborhood.
