Chris’ Pick
I’m backing Gonzaga here. It’s a big number for the Zags, but the problem for Bakersfield is that they’ve really struggled to take the step up in competition and while this may not be the same Gonzaga team of years past, they’re still really talented and I think that the Zags just obliterate Bakersfield at home here. Give me Gonzaga in a rout.
