BYU vs. Gonzaga

Brigham Young and Gonzaga lock horns in Las Vegas in this tournament battle. Rested BYU has plenty of run-and-gun offensive punch, tops in the West Coast Conference in scoring (83.6 points per game), third in field goal shooting, and scoring margin (+11.9). The Cougars can also play defense, #3 in field goal shooting defense in the conference, plus #6 in points allowed. BYU is 8-1-1 ATS following a spread loss. They face a Gonzaga squad that is 3-9-1 ATS against a team with a winning percentage above .600. The unusual scheduling dynamics favor the dog as Gonzaga played yesterday while BYU was taking the day off from all things basketball-related, per school policy regarding practicing or playing on what it considers the Sabbath. Play BYU.
