Gonzaga-South Dakota key matchups

The Coyotes are 9-5, the program’s best start since joining Division I in 2008, and balance has been one of the keys. South Dakota has had eight different leading scorers.

Guard Matt Mooney averages a team-high 14.7 points, but the Coyotes have made just 31.7 percent of 3-pointers. GU will have a size advantage, but Coyotes 6-foot-7 post Tyler Flack has been productive, averaging 13.3 points and 7.9 rebounds.
