Gonzaga has won four in a row and has been waiting for this matchup with BYU, which spoiled the Bulldogs' undefeated season last year as a 21-point underdog. The Cougars have lost three of their last four road games, including 76-69 at Loyola Marymount on Thursday as a 10-point favorite. Elijah Bryant scored 24 points and Yoeli Childs added 15 points and 13 rebounds, but they got no help from the rest of the team and the Cougars were only 5-of-26 from three-point range against the Lions. Gonzaga has not covered their last six games, but that has been mostly due to very high point spreads of at least 13 1/2 points in five of them. This time though the Zags have extra motivation to pour it on and BYU is 2-6 ATS its last eight games against teams with winning percentages of .600 or better. Back Gonzaga in an anticipated blowout.
