The Alabama Crimson Tide are an excellent basketball team that has enough offensive horses to hang around in this game. However, the Gonzaga Bulldogs are firing on all cylinders, and they have a history of beating teams up in spots where you think things will be close. Goznaga should also be rather motivated after losing to Duke and having many saying they’re the same old Gonzaga. I’ll lay the chalk.
