T.M. Selection: Gonzaga/BYU UNDER.

I am on the under in the Gonzaga vs BYU game on Saturday. Gonzaga has been putting up a ton of points in their games lately. Most of their previous 7 games they have either put up 90+ or in a lot of cases 100+ points. Most of the games that they do that in though are against opposing teams who are not very good and Gonzaga already plays in a much weaker conference than a lot of the other high ranked teams in the country. I think this is a great game for them to go under in since BYU is a much better team than what they have seen lately. BYU hasn't been great in conference play this year but they are still 17-7 overall and they are 10-1 on their home court this year. I think BYU will offer a lot of resistance in this game and I don't expect Gonzaga to walk all over them like they usually do in their conference play. BYU has been a very good team on their home court this year but they have also looked really good on defense in all of their games. BYU has not let either team put up 80+ points in the game in 6 games in a row now. Furthermore, they have only given up and scored 80+ points in a game 1 time in their previous 10 games and that 1 game was against Gonzaga. Gonzaga destroyed BYU on their home court 110-84 but now the game is on BYU' home floor and I expect them to play much better on defense here since they have been great on defense all year and they defend their home court well. BYU is probably sitting on that bad blowout still and I expect them to remember that game and play much harder against them here. Gonzaga has also only played in 2 road games this year and both were in their conference play against teams that are not as good as BYU. I think BYU will keep this game somewhat respectable so I like the under in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 79-63 Gonzaga.
