Gonzaga vs San Francisco Prediction
I’m not a fan of laying double-digit chalk with a team that hasn’t played in over a week. We could see a sluggish start from Gonzaga, which would allow San Francisco to sink its teeth into this matchup. This also isn’t the best Gonzaga team we’ve seen over the years.
However, Gonzaga has made light work of San Francisco twice this season, which includes a 20-point win nine days ago. Gonzaga also beat San Francisco by 11 points a month ago. San Francisco just hasn’t been able to make Gonzaga uncomfortable offensively. If that continues, this will be another effortless win for Gonzaga. I’ll be rooting for a competitive game late night, but I’m going to lay the points with Gonzaga anyway.
