Gonzaga (25-8) vs Georgia (20-12)

Thursday, March 20, 2025 at 4:35 pm

This is a play on the GONZAGA BULLDOGS for our CBB Thursday Supreme Annihilator. Because of the NCAA seeding policies and the expansion of the SEC and Big Ten Conferences where teams cannot play each other early on based on how many times they played during the season, Gonzaga was one of the teams that was affected by the seeding. The Bulldogs finished with a No. 8 NET Ranking and No. 9 KenPom Ranking but were given a No. 8 seed making them the biggest under-seeded team in the tournament. Georgia went 8-10 in the Southeastern Conference and made the tournament thanks to winning its final four regular season games including wins over Florida, Texas and Vanderbilt before bowing out in its first SEC Tournament game against Oklahoma. The Bulldogs only have two other Quad 1 wins and while one was against St John’s, that was all the way back in November. Free throw shooting is important as ever in the NCAA Tournament and teams that shoot 77 percent or better are 87-52-2 ATS (62.6 percent) and when the spread is six points or less, those teams move to 60-29 ATS (67.4 percent). 10* (764) Gonzaga Bulldogs
