KEY GAME INFORMATION
XAVIER: Last season: 28-6, lost in second round of NCAA Tournament.
Nickname: Musketeers.
Coach: Chris Mack.
Conference: Big East.
Who's gone: F James Farr, F Jalen Reynolds, G Remy Abell, G Larry Austin Jr.
Who's back: Musketeers return four of their top six scorers. G Trevon Bluiett led the team in scoring at 15.1 points per game and has lost about 20 pounds in the offseason to gain quickness. Edmond Sumner (11 ppg, 3.6 assists) is one of the quickest players in the country and is trying to develop into a more complete point guard. G Myles Davis (10.8 ppg) is suspended indefinitely with a misdemeanor case in court. J.P. Macura (9.4 ppg) provides grit and a spark.
Who's new: Senior F RaShid Gaston sat out last season after transferring from Norfolk State. F Malcolm Bernard, a graduate student from Florida A&M, also will help make up for the loss of Farr and Reynolds on the front line. Freshman guards Tyrique Jones and Quentin Goodin will ease into playing time.
The Skinny: The Musketeers were ranked as high as No. 5 last season, a school record. They open this season at No. 7 and have enough depth ' especially on offense ' to have another big season. Sophomore forward Kaiser Gates will miss the first few weeks recovering from knee surgery, and Davis' status is unclear, so Xavier could have some growing pains early.
GONZAGA: Last season: 28-8, lost in the Sweet 16
Nickname: Bulldogs
Coach: Mark Few
Conference: West Coast
Who's gone: F Kyle Wiltjer; F Domantas Sabonis; G Kyle Dranginis
Who's back: C Przemek Karnowski returns from back injury that sidelined him most of last season; G Josh Perkins returns with average of 10.1 points and 4.1 assists per game.
Who's new: G Nigel Williams-Goss becomes eligible after transfer from Washington, where he averaged 15 points and 5 assists; G Jordan Mathews is a graduate transfer from California, where he averaged 13.5 points; F Johnathan Williams is a transfer from Missouri, where he averaged 11.9 points and 7 rebounds.
The Skinny: The Zags appear to have reloaded after losing NBA lottery pick Sabonis (17 points, 11.8 rebounds) and Wiltjer (20.4 points, 6.3 rebounds). They seek to extend a streak of 17 consecutive trips to the NCAA Tournament.
PREVIEW
Gonzaga, Xavier both aim for first Final Four
 

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- One team will make history in the NCAA Tournament's West Regional final Saturday.

Either top-seed Gonzaga or 11th-seeded Xavier will make its first Final Four.

A one-time Cinderella, Gonzaga (35-1) ranked among the top tier of title contenders all season, as the Bulldogs were No. 1 in the AP poll for nearly two months while winning their first 29 games. They are big, quick, deep and talented.

Arguably a 2017 Cinderella, Xavier (24-13) went through a six-game losing streak after star point guard Edmond Sumner sustained a season-ending knee injury on Jan. 29, with only two of the losses to ranked teams. The Musketeers, however, regained their stride.

Xavier, the lowest seed remaining in the NCAA field, advanced through the West by handling No. 6 seed Maryland, No. 3 seed Florida State and No. 2 seed Arizona.

"Losing Ed was tough because he was a key part to our team," said guard Trevon Bluiett, who scored 25 points and had an assist on the winning basket when Xavier beat Arizona 73-71 Thursday.

"You know, I feel like the 'click' was always there. We just had to learn how to play a full 40 minutes."

Musketeers forward J.P. Macura had 14 points, seven rebounds and five assists against the Wildcats.

"We're all tough guys," Macura said. "We stuck together, and we're not really backing down from anybody. If you have that mentality, you can beat an awful lot of teams."

Gonzaga, whose only loss came to BYU on Feb. 25, got a go-ahead 3-pointer from Jordan Mathews in the final minute to beat West Virginia 61-58 in the West's other Sweet 16 match.

The Bulldogs' 7-foot, 300-pound center, Przemek Karnowski, will be the biggest man on the floor Saturday and will be the toughest matchup for smaller Xavier. Both he and athletic 6-9 forward Johnathan Williams had 13 points against West Virginia.

Point guard Nigel Williams-Goss leads Gonzaga with a 16.7 scoring average, one of four players in double figures. He was held to 10 points on 2-of-10 shooting and committed five turnovers against West Virginia.

"Karnowski is a problem inside," said Arizona coach Sean Miller, whose team lost to Gonzaga 69-62 on Dec. 3. "He can do it rebounding. He can do it in the post. He can do it by passing. And Gonzaga is very underrated defensively."

The Bulldogs held the Mountaineers to 26.7 percent shooting (16 of 60).

Gonzaga, long removed from being a college-basketball upstart, is playing in its 19th consecutive NCAA Tournament. The Bulldogs have made only two other appearances in the Elite Eight, losing to eventual champion Connecticut in 1999 and falling to eventual champion Duke in 2015.

"All year we've been banking on our defense, our defense, our defense," Gonzaga coach Mark Few said. "We're 40 minutes away from a Final Four, which was something we set our sights on at the start of the year."

Xavier has made two previous Elite Eight appearances, the last coming in 2008, when Miller was the head coach and Chris Mack was one of his assistants. The Musketeers lost to a UCLA team led by Kevin Love and Russell Westbrook.
