Gonzaga has not looked great in its past three games, losing two and beating Tarleton by just nine. Will the Zags lose here? Obviously not, but Merrimack is a solid NEC team with all five starters back from last season. Thus, this veteran bunch shouldn't be intimidated and can hang within 25-30. The Warriors also will play VERY slow to keep the possessions to a minimum. The Zags may be looking ahead a bit to spanking in-state Big Brother Washington on Sunday.
