San Francisco vs Gonzaga College Basketball Betting Preview
I project the Zags as just over 19-point favorites, so I do show some value on the Bulldogs at the kennel.
Of course, this line has been shaded down due to injury news — Braden Huff is out, and Graham Ike is questionable.
Ike and Huff are similar players. Both are dominant interior post-up threats who play solid interior defense on the other end. If Ike is able to go, I actually don't downgrade the Bulldogs too much, because they still have 35-plus minutes of two-way dominance from Ike.
Regardless, we should get some Ismaila Diagne minutes. He's an absolute monster on the defensive end, and his interior defense could prove important against Santa Clara's paint-to-perimeter, inside-out attack.
I'm not a big fan of this year's Dons. This is Chris Gerlufsen's worst team in his four-year tenure. There's not as much off-the-bounce ability as in the past.
Despite Stuckey and some of our other experts taking San Francisco with the injury report…
…I'm partial to thinking Gonzaga can piece together enough two-way play to cover the number against an underwhelming team.
Gonzaga has some decent dribble creators between Mario Saint-Supery, Braeden Smith, and Tyon Grant-Foster. That trio could take advantage of San Francisco's horrendous ball-screen coverage defense (.91 PPP allowed, 11th percentile).
My Pick: LEAN Gonzaga
