Gonzaga vs UConn Prediction
Give me Gonzaga here. UConn has been so inconsistent and I just don’t trust them to find success here. Gonzaga is averaging 90.2 points per game and they are going to have no issue running up the score here. They might not score 90.2 points but they are going to score enough to come out on top here. Gonzaga is going to score at least 80 points, and UConn won’t keep up. Back Gonzaga against the spread here.
