Is this considered a home game for the Zags or is it considered a neutral court with tickets split down the middle?

The Beat Down in Rain Town
I ain't gonna lie I was more worried about the Zags game in Seattle then the dUKe game in Catlanta. I made a thread preseason about all the players they brought back and then they killed Baylor to start off the season. If we beat them in Seattle we deserve to be #1 with a bullet. I think Clemson will be tough at home but we have a better team and coach.
Gonna Paddle em in Seattle.
Clemson's center looks like he'd get winded before the first media timeout. I'm a big ol boy, so I know a fellow cheeseburger killer.
I think it will come down to how deep Gonzaga is.
How deep are they against a team that can easily keep three-to-four high-level perimeter assassins on the floor all night, and that happens to be leading the entire country in assists. (Which means guarding us requires a LOT of leg work for a LONG time.)
Not just how deep are they on paper because that's a different thing. Ask Jon Scheyer.

Looking at every team stat, we are nearly a perfect match to the Zags. It will come down to who can make 3s that night. This is going to be a nail biter for sure.
It’s neutral site as it’s 4 hours from the Gonzaga campus. Tickets aren’t split down the middle though. It’s a distribution like you would see when we played Seton Hall in NYC. Some seats reserved for specific team, but a majority first come-first served.
I'm by no means saying we can't beat the Zags because we can. I just noticed on the schedule when it came out even though we had dUKe the Zags game appeared to be tougher. Then I started looking up the team and noticed they brought back basically the top 4 starters, 4 key reserve's and a couple good left coast xfers.
It's gonna be a great game with 2 teams that go legit 9-10 deep and I gotta think Zags don't play in Seattle very often just like us.
Gonzaga is 280 miles from Seattle so it's not like their back yard. Going to be a tough game, no doubt about that. Sign me up.
Go Cats!!
Go Cats!!
I read that Gonzaga is in 90th percentile in pick&roll proficiency. Will be a good test and preparation for the conference & ncaa tournament .
It’s comforting to know they will be scouted .

Not even close imo. I would say 75% Zag fans at the minimum and probably more like 85% - 15%.
Gonzaga can probably beat us. They embrace cutting, motion and offense too.
That game will be basketball nirvana. I’m looking forward to it.

I’m not worried about this game. Pope will have them fully prepared. Sometimes it comes down to execution and who’s hot that day.
Think we drop this one. Expecting a good, entertaining game. Zags are legit this year.
Should be a close game. Got to give the Zags the edge with it being in their home state. No shame if we lose to a great team in their backyard.
