USC vs Gonzaga Prediction
This should be a hell of a game between two talented teams in USC and Gonzaga. The difference for me is Gonzaga is a little more consistent on the offensive side and can score a ton without hitting the outside shot. USC relies a little too much on the three ball, and that can be hit or miss, especially against good teams. Gonzaga has a little fewer empty possessions, and that’s probably the difference. I’ll lay the small number with Gonzaga.
