Charles Minlend, Ronnie Boyce lead San Francisco’s successful shooters

The Gonzaga Bulldogs travel to San Francisco on Thursday to play the WCC’s surprise team, USF.

Something has to give in this one.

The Dons connect at a 40.3 percent clip on 3-pointers and average 10.2 3-pointers per game, 11th nationally. GU limits foes to 28.5 percent beyond the arc, which ranks No. 10. The Zags haven’t allowed more than nine 3-pointers in a game.

Gonzaga’s challenge is tougher because USF has four players, led by Charles Minlend’s 30 and Ronnie Boyce’s 29, with at least 20 3-pointers and three others have made 10 or more.
