These College Basketball Teams Are Flying Under the Radar—And Could Shake Up the Season!

While most teams try to figure out how to take more 3s every game, Gonzaga’s offense starts in the post and rarely extends past the 3-point line. The Bulldogs make just 7.3 3-pointers per game, 252nd most among Division I teams.

Gonzaga is a balanced team, without a truly dominant star but with a nine-man rotation of capable players who all know their roles. The offense starts with Graham Ike, a delightful throwback post player whose approach is emblematic of Gonzaga as a whole.

Ike has some of the best footwork in the NCAA and wants nothing more than to get to his left hand for a layup. When the defense overplays him, he counters with short stepback jumpers. It’s a simple game, but when you combine his elite footwork with touch and athleticism, it’s deadly.
