The key for Gonzaga doesn’t center on matchups. The Zags have a showdown with Arizona in Los Angeles on Saturday so their challenge will be to stay focused on the task at hand. Mississippi Valley State (0-8) is losing by an average of 28.5 points.

The Delta Devils have played without leading scorer Marcus Romain for the last two weeks. The 6-foot-2 guard had 16 points against Northwestern and 13 versus West Virginia. Guards Isaac Williams, Rashaan Surles and Darrell Riley are the next-best scoring options.
