Baylor vs Gonzaga
(NCAAB) Bears (BAY) vs. Bulldogs (GONZ),
Total: 156.50 | -109.00 Over
Result: Win
You might recall a previous matchup between these sides, most notably in the 2021 title game won by Baylor in Indy. Now the Bears trek to Spokane, though get the Zags in the more-spacious Spokane Arena as opposed the the more cozy McCarthey Center on Gonzaga's campus. What we are relatively sure about in this matchup is that both of these teams can score. For the Zags a year ago, it was 84.5 ppg (8th nationally); Baylor 80.4 ppg. Both sides return not only experienced firepower but newcomers who should make a difference. For the Zags, watch Pepperdine transfer wing Michael Ajayi, who had his pick of portal destinations, plus ex-Temple/Arkansas G Khalif Battle (14.3 ppg), added to an already potent mix. Meanwhile, Baylor is raving about 6-5 frosh wing VI Edgecombe, a five-star addition, and if G Jeremy Roach's name sounds familiar, it should, as he's been a part of Duke contenders the past three seasons. Enough explosiveness on the floor for this scoreline to get to the 80s for both tonight. Play Baylor-Gonzaga "Over" (at Spokane Arena)
