Gonzaga vs Davidson Prediction 

Gonzaga was able to bounce back from their overtime loss to West Virginia with a blowout win on Thursday, and they should roll to another victory here. Davidson did beat Providence on Thursday, but they lost by 33 points against Arizona on Wednesday. Gonzaga is one of the best offensive teams in the country and while I do think Davidson can keep pace for a little bit, I like Gonzaga to pull away in the second half for the big win. Take the Bulldogs here.
