GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) – Zach Collins scores, rebounds, blocks shots and makes predictions. He’s pretty good at all of those things.

The freshman 7-footer from Gonzaga had quite a night in the Bulldogs’ 77-73 victory over South Carolina on Saturday in the Final Four. He had 14 points, 13 rebounds and a career-high six blocks.

The prediction? He made that to his roommate, Nigel Williams-Goss.

“He told me before the game, he said, ‘Look, I wouldn’t want to be playing against me today,'” Williams-Goss said.

Collins admitted it.
