    West Virginia +3 vs gonzaga?

    That pretty much tells us all we need to know.

    Gotta like Xavier ml +306/+7 as well.

    The spread is only 3 because that is about the difference in their Sagarin ratings. College basketball spreads are almost always 1-2 points within Sagarin rating difference.

    Gonzaga = 94.46
    WVU = 92.90

    If UCLA plays like they did in the 2nd half last night, not a team in the country can beat them. Too inconsistent, as if they play the way they did in the first half to an elite team, they would be so far behind to catch up it wouldn't be cloae.

    WVU ML looks good... Zags haven't seen a team like this at all and besides St Marys haven't seen a ranked team since December. WVU's consistency can be a issue but so is Gonzaga's tournament history.

    Xavier +7.5 looks good...on it's way to +8 or +8.5 though, will wait. Zags take care of business.

    This is no help but I like WV. Gonzaga played like hot garbage in the first half of their last game, granted they looked great in the 2nd half. Can't do that against WV, or maybe they can? Probably a no bet for smarter people than me, but I think WV gets them.

    Zags win by a bucket, 2 or 3. Itll be a foul a thon the last minute but Zags just edge out. WVU might be the play

    zags have looked quite ordinary but maybe they have an extra gear, all the good teams have them, zags may have it or not but this is the game to show it so staying away gl on anyone betting this just think alot better games out there

    wv excels in close games
    zaga has no experience with close games
    zaga has never seen anything like wv's 1-3-1 press

    Yup, I'll be in Vegas tomorrow, always goes up .5 or another 1 with a Pac-12 team

    odds are I'll be taking the points, too

    seems like the press induces a lot of scoring. I'm still flabbergasted about Zags giving up 56 2H points to shtty NU ... they didn't score that many all year against mediocre big 10 teams

    over 148?

    The kenpom prediction neutral court is 76-72 Gonzaga, for what it's worth. From what I've seen it's very near this, both side and total, just another solid model or might be actually what they use with the aid of money manipulations coming in

    I feel the same way, could go either way, too many unknowns ... what is known? The likelihood that it goes OVER considering the press. If ND could hit (Meachem) a lot of wide open 3s even they had a chance, and certainly it'll go over if not a bad shooting night by both teams. Forget the sides, go OVER

    Took X early @ +7 as i had a feeling it was going to drop.....so now at 7.5. Fine.

    My thoughts are Trevon Bluiett will do his Kemba impression.

    No ML as of yet, but probably will drop a bit before tip.

    WV/Zags go OT, spoiling both the under and the dog, Zags by 4 and over hits. Small parlay for me on this one.

    I think Gonzaga is overrated. They won't win it all, or even make the FF in my eyes. That said, WVU isn't beating them.

    There's only one way to play this game: West Virginia or pass. Gonzaga has faced piss poor competition and has never seen anything close to West Virginia's pressure.

    Gonzaga has a McD All American point guard who is a finalist for the Wooden Award, so no issues with the main ball handler. Zags play legit 8 deep with balance of guards and forwards, so they won't get too tired. They are a great passing team. Nothing here tells me they will struggle vs. a press.

    I actually think Gonzaga lights it up offensively. The west va press will speed them up - zags are filled with natural scorers and great shooters. They will probably score more than they have the previous 2 tourney games where they kind of sputtered in set plays and didn't score as smoothly.

    Gonzaga defense is so underrated, people will notice tomorrow (maybe).
