Western Kentucky at Gonzaga

Two 3-0 teams meet in the Great Alaska Shootout. We like the #14 Bulldogs. Last year Gonzaga made it to the finals of this event only to lose to Marquette. This is the first-ever meeting of these two clubs and we think W. Kentucky will be in for a rude awakening. The Hilltoppers have started strong, but haven't played anyone at this level yet. Gonzaga has alread been favored by 12, 23.5 and 25.5 points this season - and they covered all three games! They are holding opponents to just 48.3 points per game. Favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points off a double-digit win, facing a team that has won three straight by double-digits, are 69% (64-29) over the past five seasons. If their opponent's three wins were each by 15+ points, the record goes to 28-4 (88%) ATS! W. Kentucky is 0-7 ATS since last season on the road vs. good shooting teams (45%+ field goal). They are also 2-14 ATS on the road follwoing two straight wins over that span. We like the Zags here.
