Gonzaga vs Maryland Prediction
We were on Gonzaga and Maryland yesterday and they both cashed. I mentioned how consistent Gonzaga has been over the years and isn’t a team I want to step in front of, especially on the West Coast. However, this is a lot of points to throw a decent Maryland team that’s getting healthy and has been a powerhouse offensively. We’ve seen the Terps outright beat Marquette as a big underdog and consistently score in the 80s this season overall. Gonzaga should win, but 13 or so points, especially with both sides on the end of a back-to-back? Give me Maryland and the points.
