LSU vs Gonzaga Prediction
In this LSU vs Gonzaga prediction, Gonzaga is coming in as -5.5 favorites. Both teams have been excellent and undefeated this season, but LSU will be playing its first game away from Louisiana. Both teams have been red-hot offensively, scoring 187.5 points per game combined, all against Division I teams and both have been elite in shooting from the field, with 53%+ each. Even though LSU’s defense has also been elite, Gonzaga has been allowing 70 points off its opponents so I don’t think they can hold this game low-scoring. Take the over between two red-hot offenses in this one.
