Dave Boling: Refueled Khalif Battle could keep Gonzaga marching in NCAA Tournament

Summary

75% Informative

Khalif Battle could be the Zags ' most dangerous wild card this week .

Battle has averaged 17.5 points in the past four crucial games for Gonzaga .

He's had memorable moments in his only season as a Zag , but his 12.9 -point average at the end of the regular season left the West Coast Conference coaches so unimpressed that he was not included.

And when he goes up for one of those anti-gravity, booster-rocket alley-oops, his teammates appear even more energized than the gasping fans. Perhaps the all-conference snub will serve as additional motivation for Battle heading into the NCAAs. After all, high-flying things need sufficient fuel..
