From ESPN.com:
Who to watch: Southern's Derick Beltran (15.9 PPG) has failed to record double figures just four times for the Jaguars this season. Gonzaga's Kelly Olynk, an All-American, is one of the most versatile competitors in the country. The 7-footer can score inside and outside.
What to watch: The Jaguars will have to find a way to deal with Gonzaga's offensive balance. Keven Pangos is tough to stop on the perimeter. Elias Harris is a handful inside and Olynyk's size and range (35 percent from beyond) make him a tough matchup for any team in America.
Stat to watch: Gonzaga is 23rd in offensive rebounding rate, per Ken Pomeroy. The Zags will be tough inside against the Jaguars.
