SHOWDOWN: Gonzaga's ELITE frontcourt vs Oklahoma's experienced backcourt! | BIG test for Mark Few

Gonzaga Bulldogs face Oklahoma Sooners in a crucial early-season test featuring elite backcourt matchups and frontcourt advantages. Can the Zags exploit Oklahoma's thin big man rotation while containing one of the SEC's best guard duos?

Andy Patton breaks down five keys to victory for the Zags, including perimeter defense against knockdown three-point shooters Nigel Pack and Xzayvier Brown, exploiting Oklahoma's frontcourt depth issues with Graham Ike and Braden Huff, and unleashing transfer Tyon Grant-Foster's aggressive attacking style. 

The discussion covers Oklahoma's transfer-heavy roster featuring four new starters, the point guard trial by fire for Braeden Smith and Mario Saint-Supery against veteran guards, and why dominating the glass could determine the outcome. 

The episode concludes with a preview of Gonzaga women's basketball's season opener at North Dakota State, highlighting the post-Yvonne Ejim era and the potential impact of redshirt forward Lauren Whittaker.

Tune in for expert analysis on how the Zags can secure a resume-building victory at the Spokane Arena.
