Top-Ranked Bulldogs Go For Another Win

Gonzaga has gone 27-0, and it has absolutely dominated teams along the way. The Bulldogs picked up a 98-55 win over Norfolk State in the first round, and they have been the betting favorites to win the National Championship.

Looking at the college basketball odds, the Gonzaga Bulldogs are 14½-point favorites over the Oklahoma Sooners.

Sooners Seeking to Shoot Their Way to Upset

Oklahoma is averaging 75 points per game, and it does most of its damage from the perimeter. The Sooners are a team that shoots a ton of 3-pointers, and they can cause some problems if they are shooting the ball well.

Guard Austin Reaves leads the team with 17.9 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game, and he will need to take over this game. Brady Manek is shooting 38% from behind the arc, and he will need to shoot it well against Gonzaga.

Oklahoma will be without De’Vion Harmon for the second straight game due to COVID-19 protocols, and that takes an offensive weapon off the floor. The Sooners don’t have a ton of depth and could wear down in the second half.

The Sooners are holding opponents to 69 points per game, and it would be wise to slow the pace against Gonzaga.

Gonzaga is scoring over 92 points per game, making it the second-highest scoring team in the country. There have been some talented teams in college basketball over the past decade, but this Bulldogs team might have them all beat.
