Lost one last night, bringing us to 1–2 on the week.
Gonzaga at Washington State
Gonzaga’s got Seattle on Saturday, and the last time Gonzaga played Seattle, Seattle took Gonzaga to overtime. That combines with two other factors—Washington State playing better ball lately and what should be an intense crowd in Pullman—to lead us to think WSU is the angle here. It’s not that Gonzaga will overlook WSU. It’s that if they’ve got the game in hand, they might take their foot off the gas more than they otherwise would.
Pick: Washington State +17.5 (–105). 3.39 units to win 3.23.
