These teams have basically tied twice. Why do you think Gonzaga rolls?

i tried comparing stats byu is a high scoring team but allows a lot of points. Gonzaga isn't as high scoring but has better defense. BYU is better at the 3 ball (well at least attempts it way more) and gonzaga is slightly better at field goals with about 2% higher overall average. Gonzaga though from ranking trends of different categories seems to be improving more then BYU. I then have to compare BPI rank of both the teams and gonzaga is ranked 26th in the country whereas BYU is 59th in the country. The strength of schedule of gonzaga is also tougher then that of BYU. That being said you need to add some sort of buff to overall stats of gonzaga since they have had a tougher schedule. Gonzaga should win this game but by a lot? Probably not but I'd roll the dice with zaga personally.

just another comment it may just be worth not betting lol .. or maybe take gonzaga first half

Mitch Wilson on BYU. Free dog of the day. Not saying hes always right but I trust his opinion

**jeffchitown** · 03-07-16, 10:26 PM

i just checked both games against BYU. Gonzaga was up 4 at the half in both games.

**popBK** · 03-07-16, 10:28 PM

id lean byu but to tough to play

**312** · 03-07-16, 10:35 PM

Im torn on this game, Im 3-1 tonight leaning on BYU

**UNMLOBOFAN51** · 03-07-16, 11:00 PM

lean gonzaga purely on the coaching side of things if the zags get down early though it could be a tough hill to climb

**312** · 03-07-16, 11:03 PM

Byu will need to hit 3s to cover, zags have one of the best 3pt defenses in the country

**xdodger19** · 03-07-16, 11:07 PM

Byu +4 buy half a point

**jeffchitown** · 03-07-16, 11:11 PM

I ended up betting the 1h zaga -2 @ -105. I hope they pull it off and roll my winnings into 2nd half depending on score assuming of course zaga wins the first half

**birdman24** · 03-08-16, 12:08 AM

Zags up DD

**Pete90** · 03-08-16, 12:17 AM

What a collapse..assholes

**johnnyvegas13** · 03-08-16, 12:18 AM

Wow big time blown call on that byu slam that tied it before half

**jeffchitown** · 03-08-16, 12:18 AM

jeez this game is high scoring. I cant believe zags blew their early lead tied at half crazy. Well damn 2nd half of this day has royally sucked. BOL rest of night folks

**jeffchitown** · 03-08-16, 12:25 AM

can they review goal tending at the half and take off 2 points?

**Joe Sharp** · 03-08-16, 12:27 AM

Unreal.

I took Under 83 2nd half.
Let's see if they maintain pace and %

**funnyb25** · 03-08-16, 12:35 AM

Think this was expected to be a high scoring affair...You got a team like Gonzaga who allows average teams to put up a bunch of points on them against a team like BYU who couldn't stop a 7th grade girls PE class

**POOLSIDE** · 03-08-16, 12:51 AM

Yeah I took the +4 here. Win or lose, this is the type of game I expected.
