This is a lot of points, and I think we could see a bit of regression from McNeese’s offense against Gonzaga. Take the under at our sportsbook.
McNeese vs Gonzaga ATS Pick: McNeese +6½
This Gonzaga team has everything you want to both back and fade heading into the NCAA tournament. The Zags as a sleeper Final Four candidate? Look at the upset win at Kentucky.
Gonzaga as a trendy pick to get bounced in the first round? Cite the team’s struggles against the top opponents on their schedule.
McNeese has been a popular candidate to make a run thanks to former LSU coach Will Wade’s impressive turnaround. I can’t get there with the outright upset pick, but Gonzaga has a bad habit of letting teams hang around.
“We’re gonna go from 23 losses to 23-plus wins next year. Remember I said that.”
