Though there won't be any pretty tough outings for Gonzaga as the duo of Ryan Woolridge and Admon Gilder is vanishing all opponents buy their game. The return of Joel Ayayi has made their backcourt more stable. He is their support/ backbone in any of the matches. Thus, the return of him will make the team more forbidden and strong.
