Gonzaga vs San Francisco Prediction 

San Francisco comes into this matchup trying to stay in second place in the WCC standings, but they will be on the road in this contest. The Dons do have a win over St. Mary’s two games ago, but they also lost by 20 points on the road to the Gaels back in January. San Francisco is shooting 45.8% from the field this year and their defense has allowed 66 points or fewer in three straight. Gonzaga has won four of their last five games and they can’t afford too many more losses if they want to keep an at large bid. The Bulldogs are shooting over 49% from the field and they are scoring 87.2 points per game this season. I think we are going to see plenty of points in this matchup and I like the over here.
