Gonzaga vs North Florida Prediction

I’ll likely lean toward Gonzaga here. The line’s too thick to mess with, though. The Bulldogs made short work of a pretty good Kentucky team in their last outing, shooting a cool 57.1 percent from the field and 9-of-18 from 3-point range. Gonzaga had a 40-27 edge in rebounding and outscored the Wildcats in the paint 46-18 alongside 24 team assists and just nine turnovers. The Bulldogs held Kentucky to just 26.7 percent shooting on the other side as well. It was a nice bounce-back effort following just 61 points in that loss to Michigan. Gonzaga has now scores 90 or more points in all but three games so far this year; their offense is cooking.

As for North Florida, they shot a tepid 40 percent from the field in their latest loss versus a pretty decent SIU Edwardsville team. The Ospreys were out-rebounded 41-30 and had 12 turnovers alongside a 30-22 deficit on points in the paint. North Florida had been scoring well before that though, with 78 or more points in five straight games. The Ospreys tend to give up a lot on defense this year though, which will spell trouble in Sunday’s game.
