Gonzaga at San Francisco: Three things to know
- Gonzaga knocked off San Francisco 85-62 as a 19-point home favorite in early January. The Bulldogs led 47-37 at the half and held the Dons to 25% shooting in the second half. Senior F Corey Kispert led the Zags with 26 points on 9-for-11 shooting.
- Gonzaga last played Monday, leading wire-to-wire in an 82-71 victory at BYU. Freshman G Jalen Suggs scored a game-high 24 points as the Zag pushed on the spread as 11-point favorites. Gonzaga was to visit Santa Clara, Calif., Thursday, but the game was postponed due to COVID-19 issues within the Broncos program. Kispert and sophomore F Drew Timme lead the Bulldogs in scoring at 19.5 and 18.9 points per game.

Against the spread (ATS)
Back GONZAGA -16.5 (-110). Neither team has been great ATS recently. The Zags are 3-5-2 ATS in their last 10 games, and the Dons are 3-7 ATS.
Gonzaga gets the nod because it’s a much better team, should be well-rested and is beating conference opponents by an average of 23.2 PPG.
ATS: Gonzaga 8-9-2 | San Francisco 8-11
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 155.5 (-110) is the STRONGEST PLAY – 1½ times your usual wager. The Zags might lead the country in scoring at 92.7 PPG and field-goal percentage at 54.8%, but they’re 2-8 O/U in their last 10 games.
The Dons are also 2-8 O/U in their last 10. The Zags will get their points, but the Dons will be fortunate to reach 65.
O/U records: Gonzaga 8-11 | San Francisco 8-11
