Gonzaga vs Oregon State Prediction
Oregon State comes into this matchup after winning four of their last five games, including a 97-89 win over Gonzaga, but they will be on the road for this game. The Beavers are shooting 49.8% from the field and they have scored at least 83 points in four of their last five. Gonzaga has dropped two of their last three games, including a loss to Santa Clara in their last home game. The Bulldogs are shooting 50% from the field and they are scoring over 89 points per game this year. We saw a very high-scoring game between these two teams just a few games ago and I think we are going to see another one here. I really like how both teams are playing offense right now, so I like the over here.
