T.M. Selection: Gonzaga.

I like Gonzaga to cover the spread against Alabama in this game on Saturday. Gonzaga just won their previous game by 9 points against Tarleton State but I think that they still have to be boiling over their loss to Duke in their game before that one against Tarleton. They lost to Duke by 3 points but they still played very well in that game and they have looked really good all year. That loss dropped them to 3rd in the country while Duke took over 1st place and then went and lost to Ohio State after that. I think that Gonzaga is boiling over that loss and I think that they are looking to destroy all ranked teams and take back their spot at the top. Gonzaga has already beaten a few ranked teams this year and they were by double digits in both games. They beat a top 10 Texas team by 12 points and they also beat a top 5 UCLA team by 20 points and they were 2nd in the country at the time of that loss to Gonzaga. I think Gonzaga is still by far the best team in the country no matter what the rankings say. Gonzaga has beaten many opposing teams by 20+ points and by double digits this year, including ranked teams, and I expect this game to be no different for them. Alabama has looked okay in their games this year but they have also had a much easier schedule than Gonzaga has and Alabama hasn't even faced a ranked team all year before this game. I think Gonzaga is still the best team and I like them to cover the spread in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 85-65 Gonzaga.
