Gonzaga vs Iowa: 5 biggest storylines for epic No. 1 vs No. 3 battle

Garza stopping Timme

Yes, the story of Garza and Timme continues. Whether you prefer to fixate on each being able to score on each other, or you are obsessed with how they will stop each other, the match-up is less of a storyline and more of a fairy tale. This is what dreams are made of and it should be savored for all its worth.

While these two new foes have a lot of similarities when they are in the painted area, like any good story the protagonist and antagonist have an advantage over each other in a particular way. Similar to Superman versus Batman, the protagonist of the story is decided by personal preference, and if you prefer shooting, you most likely prefer Garza.

While Garza is able to step back behind the three-point line after setting a screen to connect on 68 percent of his three-pointers, Timme is able to score when he is not posting up as well.

Timme is going to get a lot of points in the paint, but not solely due to his post moves, Timme runs the court extremely well for a center. Even while playing thirty-two minutes per game, Timme scored17 and 25 in quality victories over Kansas and West Virginia, two games where the pace of play was over 81 possessions. Garza’s perceived ‘worst game’ came against North Carolina when he played his most minutes (35) at a pace of almost 80 possessions.
