Gonzaga Bulldogs vs McNeese State Cowboys Point Spread Picks

Not many have noticed, but McNeese State is 30-3 this season and the Cowboys have won 11 in a row after clinching the Southland Conference Tournament championship with a 92-76 victory over Nicholls. The Cowboys shot a blistering 61 percent, hit 11-of-20 3-pointers, and were led by Shahada Wells, who scored 27 points. McNeese State has played great defense all season, allowing just 61.5 points per game, which is #5 in the country, along with a .385 opponent field goal percentage that is #3 nationally. Gonzaga had its eight-game win streak end with a 69-60 loss to Saint Mary's in the West Coast Conference Tournament, and it went UNDER by 10 points as the Bulldogs went 2-for-11 on 3-pointers. The Bulldogs are 5-1 UNDER following a loss, 6-0 UNDER after committing fewer than eight turnovers back-to-back games, and 1-8 ATS their past nine NCAA Tournament games. McNeese State is 6-1 ATS following an ATS loss and 25-12 UNDER in the first-half against high win-percentage teams like the Zags. I'm going with underrated McNeese State on the moneyline, playing the first-half UNDER, and taking the UNDER as a Max Play.
