Prediction
Gonzaga 83, Arizona 77
Moneyline (ML)
There was no moneyline posted at the time of publishing. GONZAGA would be the pick on the road, even though Arizona is certainly hostile territory. The Bulldogs have faced plenty of adversity already, so don’t expect them to be fazed.
Against the Spread (ATS)
GONZAGA (+3.5, -139) is a strong option on the road, especially considering Arizona (-3.5, +115) is just 1-4 ATS in the past five overall, and 0-4 ATS in the past four against teams with a winning percentage over .600.
New to sports betting? A $10 wager on Gonzaga to cover the spread and stay within 3 points in a loss or win outright would profit $7.20 if it does so.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 152.5 (+ 110) is a great option in this high-profile matchup. The total has gone Over in five straight for the Zags. While the Under is 5-2 in Arizona’s past seven against winning teams, the Over is 4-1 in the past five on its home floor.
