Betting Pick & Score Prediction

The Gonzaga Bulldogs are going to blow the doors off the Wave in this game. Gonzaga is way too talented for Pepperdine to keep up with. It’s a miserable season for the Wave, but at least they play in a beautiful city. Look for this to be a blowout basically from the moment it starts. Gonzaga may not lose a game in the regular season. Mark Few has another really good basketball team. We will see if they are battle tested enough to win in the postseason this season. For this game, it’s all Gonzaga. The spread could be 30 and that would not change. Bet Gonzaga -25.5 over Pepperdine.
