BYU at Gonzaga

Gonzaga has become a team that just reloads talent every season. They enter this game at 15-3, and they are close to impossible to beat at home where they are 140-21 in their last 161 played here. They have also covered over 60% of the time here as a favorite of less than -9.5. BYU loves to get out and run, but they are facing a team with equal firepower. However, Gonzaga plays on both ends, which will be the undoing of the Cougars in this one as they don't play defense. Gonzaga is 16-5-1 ATS in their last 22 following an ATS loss, rarely playing consecutive games under the line. The home team has not failed to cover in this series in the last six. Make the play on Gonzaga. Also take the UNDER. These teams are No. 1 and 2 in scoring in the conference, which is why oddsmakers have made this total so high, but don't overlook how good these defenses are. Brigham Young is on an 11-5 run under the total with a defense that is second in the conference in field goal shooting (41% allowed) and second at defending beyond the arc (30.5% three-point shooting allowed). Brigham Young is 21-8 under the total in the Cougars last 29 games vs. a team with a winning percentage above .600. And speaking of defense, Gonzaga isn't all about running and gunning: The Under is 51-25-2 in Bulldogs last 78 games, plus 38-14-1 under the total in West Coast Conference play. Gonzaga is also 47-20-3 under the total at home and when these teams meet the under is 4-0 in the last four meetings. Play Gonzaga and the UNDER.
