Arkansas-Pine Bluff vs. Gonzaga Prediction

I’m on the over in this game. I think this is a name your number spot for Gonzaga here and it wouldn’t surprise me to see them score into the hundreds here, but we’ve also seen UAPB hang around and put up respectable totals of their own this season, and laying such a huge number with the spread there’s always a concern that the backdoor will be left open. I think going with the over route is the safer option that I like better anyways. Give me the over.
