2023 March Madness 1st round bracket breakdown: West Region

No. 3 Gonzaga vs. No. 14 Grand Canyon

Gonzaga is a polarizing team this year with how far they can go. But their matchup against Grand Canyon is not. Drew Timme is still one of college basketball’s elite and should provide plenty to get the Zags out of the first round.

Former Vanderbilt head coach Bryce Drew has now gotten the Antelopes into the NCAA tournament in two of his three seasons at the school. While they may not have much of a chance, Rayshon Harrison is a walking bucket and a fun player to watch.

Prediction: Gonzaga
