Gonzaga vs Kansas Picks & Prediction

Two tournament Blue Bloods hook up in Salt Lake City as the Jayhawks are a rare Big Dance underdog against Gonzaga.

The last time Kansas was listed as a tournament ‘dog came in 2021 as the Jayhawks were blown out by USC, marking the third straight double-digit loss when getting points in the tourney.

Gonzaga crushed McNeese on Thursday, 86-65 as 7-point favorites, highlighted by 10 three-pointers from the Bulldogs.

The Bulldogs haven’t lost a first-round tournament game since 2008, while winning eight consecutive second round games.

Kansas posted an 0-5 SU and 1-4 ATS mark as an underdog of 3 points or more this season, so there isn’t much value in Bill Self’s team when receiving points.

The Jayhawks destroyed Samford on 2-point attempts by converting 29-of-40 for a blistering 72.5%.

However, Gonzaga ranks 14th in the country in defending 2-point shots at 44.9%, while limiting seven of its past eight opponents to less than 50% shooting on 2-point attempts.

Pick: Gonzaga -4 (-110)
