Betting on the Gonzaga Bulldogs (odds)
Record: 19-0 Overall / 10-0 Conference
In Gonzaga’s last game, the Bulldogs…you guessed it…won. The Bulldogs took down the BYU Cougars on the road, 82-71. Gonzaga failed to cover the spread, as it settled for a push as an 11-point road favorite, but the team’s offense looked just as amazing as usual. The Bulldogs extended their streak of 50 percent shooting from the field or better to five games, as they buried 50.8 percent of their shots against BYU. Gonzaga, after all, is the highest-scoring team in the nation and owns the most-efficient offense overall. The Bulldogs are averaging 92.7 points per game on 54.8 percent shooting from the field and also sports a ridiculous 60.5 effective field goal percentage. The Bulldogs barely had any trouble racking up points in their 82-62 win at home over San Francisco last January, shooting 52.6 percent from the floor. Corey Kispert led Gonzaga in that game with 26 points.
The under is 4-1 in Gonzaga’s last five road games.
Betting on the San Francisco Dons (odds)
Record: 10-8 Overall / 4-4 Conference
San Francisco just couldn’t find consistency this season. The Dons are 4-5 straight up in conference play and will enter Saturday’s contests on the heels of back-to-back losses to the Saint Mary’s Gaels (67-63) and to the Pepperdine Waves (76-68), both at home. The Dons haven’t been shooting the ball well all season long, and that was the case again for them in the loss to Pepperdine in which they made only 39.7 percent of their attempts from the field. The Dons are fourth in the conference with 69.9 points per game and sixth with a 42.6 field goal percentage. Part of the reason why their field goal percentage numbers are down is that they rely so much on 3-point shots. The Dons are third in the nation with 44.6 percent of their points coming from deep. It’s also why the Dons are a threat against any team. The Dons went only 8 of 23 from behind the arc in the loss to Gonzaga but are No. 1 in Division I basketball with 10.8 made threes per game on 36.0 percent shooting.
San Francisco is 7-3 against the spread in its last 10 home games.
Writer’s Prediction
Gonzaga wins, 82-71.
