Gonzaga in the role of underdog? We don't see that very often. They were last an underdog at St. Mary's a few weeks ago and won the game, 70-57. They were also a dog at Kentucky last month and won straight up, 89-85. This is a rematch from November when Purdue topped Gonzaga, 73-63. Gonzaga was third in the nine-team WCC in points given up (68.6 per game) and second in shooting allowed (.402), while the offense was No. 1 in scoring (85 per game), shooting (.519), and assist-to-turnover ratio. Gonzaga is 20-8 ATS revenging a home loss to an opponent, including 14-2 ATS away from home. Purdue is on a 4-7 spread run along with a 6-15 ATS run in March games. The Boilermakers are eighth in the 14-team Big Ten from the free throw line (.721) and 11th in turnover margin. Purdue is 15-30 ATS after having won 15+ of their last 20, plus 8-17 ATS after a win by 15+ points. Play Gonzaga with the points.
