What a March Madness it has been to this point. UCLA took the East region by storm upending almost everyone's bracket. Mick Cronin has the Bruins playing a great brand of basketball on both ends of the court. With that being said, the story of the tournament has to be what Gonzaga is doing to each of their opponents. They are beating teams by an average of 21.5 points per game which is incredible. Teams like USC, Oklahoma, and Creighton looked completely outmatched going up against this undefeated Gonzaga team. Will we see the matchup everyone has been waiting for in Gonzaga vs. Baylor or will there be yet another upset left in this tournament?

Both of these teams have been fantastic all year and I don't expect anything different in this matchup. The three headed monster of Butler, Teague, and Mitchell is good enough to beat anybody and that includes Gonzaga. On the other hand, Houston is an extremely tough matchup with their stingy defense. The reason I am skeptical about the Houston Cougars in this Final Four game is whether they will be able to score with Baylor. They have shown that they are susceptible to some big scoring droughts. I believe that will be the storyline to watch in this one. Lean: Baylor -5

At this point, betting against Gonzaga ATS is not an option for me. Gonzaga made USC’s defense, which was one of the best in the country, look like it was men amongst boys. Gonzaga has so many scoring options whether it be Timme, Kispert, Suggs, or Ayayi. They have proved all season long they can get open shots from anywhere on the court. As far as it goes for UCLA, they have very impressive back to back wins over Alabama and Michigan. That is nothing to ignore due to the fact both of those teams had great seasons. UCLA is red hot coming into this game behind the great play of Johnny Juzang (21.6 PPG in the tournament). You have to respect the accomplishments of the 11 seed UCLA Bruins but they are up against a very tall task in the Gonzaga Bulldogs.
