Gonzaga Bulldogs vs. San Diego Toreros Prediction

The San Diego Toreros have been competitive at home (5-3) this season, but the Toreros have not faced a team of the caliber of the Gonzaga Bulldogs in 2025. Gonzaga holds a clear advantage over the Toreros in scoring efficiency, rebounding, team depth and overall roster talent. If the Gonzaga Bulldogs can control tempo and maintain their offensive rhythm, the Bulldogs should be able to create separation early and close out this conference matchup with a comfortable win.

With that said, San Diego’s home environment and turnover pressure may help them stay competitive for stretches, but Gonzaga’s offensive ceiling is just too good. With that said, I like San Diego to keep this game within the number here. In summary, I am backing San Diego plus the 29.5 points in this game.

Hans Geevers's Pick: San Diego +29.5
