Pick

I’m backing Gonzaga here. This is a huge number though, and one I’m probably not messing with, but the Zags do their best work at home and have piled on top of far less than what they’re against here. The concern is that Gonzaga looks past the Cougars here and has an emotional letdown after their big win over Saint Mary’s, but the Zags are too talented for that. Give me the Zags by 30+.
