Gonzaga Bulldogs vs Pittsburgh Panthers Point Spread Picks

Pittsburgh was 19-15 last season, but just 8-22-1 ATS. Point guard James Robinson returns along with Jamel Artis, the team's leading scorer with 13.6 points per game. Also, the Panthers include three transfers in Rafael Maia, Alonzo Nelson-Ododa and Sterling Smith. These players will add depth to a team that lost some rebounding and shooting along with improved defense which was uncharacteristically lacking last season for the Panthers. Gonzaga's frontcourt is still intact with Przemek Karnowski, Kyle Wiltjer and Domantas Sabonis. The Bulldogs were 35-3 and 18-15-2 ATS last season averaging 78.7 points per game. Josh Perkins will take over at point guard after missing most of last last season with a broken jaw. Seven-foot Ryan Edwards returns as a sophomore after skipping last season. As a matter of consequence, this game is being played in Okinawa, Japan. Pittsburgh was 0-5 SU and ATS its last five games last season. Lay the points and play Gonzaga.
