According to the Pomeroy database, Gonzaga is ranked 18th and Kentucky is 22nd in defensive efficiency.
This doesn’t figure to be a low-scoring affair, but the 167-point total set by the sports betting odds does seem to be a bit on the high side.

Graham Ike had 10 double-doubles and 15 games with at least 20 points in his first season at Gonzaga.
