Pick
Gonzaga comes into this game playing a lot better than they did in earlier portions of the season and they have one of the best scoring offenses in the country. San Francisco has won five of their last six games, but they did lose both meetings to Gonzaga in the regular season. Gonzaga seems to be on a mission right now and I don’t like San Francisco’s chances to even keep this game close.
