Our Gonzaga vs Houston Prediction
As good as Houston’s defense has been this season, Gonzaga has an offense built to score and score a lot. The Bulldogs are averaging 82.1 points per game this season, the 7th best scoring offense in the country.
Of course, Houston’s defense is allowing just 55.4 points per game but given that Gonzaga is shooting 49.7% from the field (7th in the country) and 81.5% from the free throw line (3rd in the country), we should see plenty of points scored in a hurry. For that reason, our Gonzaga Bulldogs vs Houston Cougars prediction is over 139.5.Jackpot Pools
