The 3rd-seeded Gonzaga Bulldogs (30-5) meet the No. 2  UCLA Bruins (31-5) on Thursday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Tip is scheduled for approximately 9:45 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we look at Gonzaga vs. UCLA odds from Tipico Sportsbook. Plus, check out our expert college basketball picks and predictions.

Gonzaga did the “survive and advance” thing, picking up an 84-81 win over TCU in the second round. It also topped Grand Canyon by an 82-70 score in the opening game, but it is 0-2 against the spread (ATS) so far, while hitting the Under in 3 of 4 games in the postseason. The Over (153) cashed against TCU to snap a 3-0 Under run.

In that win over the Horned Frogs, Gonzaga’s Hunter Sallis hit 2 free throws with 0.7 seconds left to go up 84-78, appearing to grab a cover as 4.5-point favorites at most shops. However, TCU rolled the ball to half-court, and Damion Baugh heaved a desperation 3-pointer from NBA range which went in before the buzzer for the bad beat, or really, the double bad beat.

UCLA throttled UNC Asheville of the Big South Conference in the opening round 86-53, scoring a 17.5-point number as the Over 136.5 cashed. It faced a much bigger challenge against Northwestern in the second round, winning 68-63, although the Wildcats hung on for the cover as 7.5-point underdogs.

Gonzaga vs. UCLA head-to-head

The last time these teams met, on Nov. 23, 2021, also happened to be at T-Mobile Arena. Gonzaga came away with an impressive 83-63 victory, as current Bulldogs Drew Timme scored 18 points with 8 rebounds, and Julian Strawther posted 12 points with 9 boards.

The teams also met in the Final Four in Indianapolis on April 3, 2021, a 93-90 win in favor of Gonzaga, ending a Cinderella run by UCLA that season as an 11-seed in front of a partial capacity crowd at Lucas Oil Stadium due to the COVID-19 global pandemic.
