Tonight’s Action
Brigham Young vs. Gonzaga
Watch: 9 p.m. ET, ESPN
Odds: Gonzaga -14 || O/U 155
Pick: Top-ranked Gonzaga (25-0) swept the season series between the schools, winning 86-69 on Jan. 7 and 82-71 on Feb. 8. BYU (20-5) is no pushover and could make the West Coast Conference final a good one.
We obviously like Gonzaga to win, but we’re taking the points and rooting for the dog. Both teams can fill it up so take the over.
