Gonzaga vs. Arizona

Gonzaga isn't getting much attention or respect, especially from oddsmakers while on a 5-1 ATS run.  This Zags team has great balance, tops in the West Coast Conference in points allowed and second in scoring. They are loaded with offensive firepower, 40th in the nation in scoring and fifth in field goal shooting at 49.8% as a team. You need defense and rebounding against a team like Arizona, and Gonzaga has it with a frontcourt of 7-foot-1 Przemek Karnowski (10.3 points per game, 7 rebounds per game) and 6-9, 243-lb senior Sam Dower (14.6 points per game, 7.2 rebounds per game). The Bulldogs are 5-0 ATS against a team with a winning record.  Gonzaga is off an 85-77 win against Oklahoma State as Karnowski hurt the Cowboys inside with 15 points and 10 rebounds. They also have terrific backcourt play with Stockton (4.2 assists per game) and Pangos (14.5 ppoints per game). They match up well with No. 1 seed Arizona, a group that lost a terrific all-around player in mid-season, Brandon Ashley (11.5 points per game, 5.8 rebounds per game). This looks like an even game all the way, so grab the very live dog. Play Gonzaga.
