UCLA Bruins vs. Gonzaga Bulldogs Prediction

I’m on Gonzaga in this one. I get the case to be made for UCLA as a dog against a fair number of teams, but Gonzaga isn’t one of them. Gonzaga’s shown no signs of letting up against the majority of teams this season and the lone team they had issues with has been Michigan, who has been throttling teams left and right this season. The Bulldogs are no joke and I think this is a statement win for Gonzaga here. Give me the Zags.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Gonzaga -10.5
