This may be the only time this season you’re going to get the Gonzaga Bulldogs in the underdog role, so I can see why you’d want to take advantage of it. However, Gonzaga’s showing against Michigan State raises some red flags and this matchup is even tougher given the talent of Texas and it taking place in Austin. The energy is going to be off the charts. Gonzaga isn’t put in these spots often. I’ll give the edge to Texas because of home court.
