Xavier vs. Gonzaga

March 25, 2017
img6:05 PM Eastern

Gonzaga has had the pressure building on them all season. They lost to BYU to snap their unbeaten start as a 20-point favorite and come off a pair of close tourney wins over Northwestern and West Virginia, failing to cover. Gonzaga is on a 3-6 spread run. Xavier is in the opposite corner, playing with the house's money after knocking off Arizona the last game. The Musketeers are 24-5-1 ATS in NCAA Tournament games, plus 19-7 ATS at neutral sites. Xavier has played a tough schedule all season, winning a November tourney, including topping Clemson of the ACC. They've recovered from a key injury loss, on a 6-1 SU, 7-0 spread run. Xavier is 15-2-1 ATS as an NCAA Tournament dog, plus 30-10-1 ATS in their last 41 neutral-site games as an underdog. Play the points on Xavier.
