NCAA Basketball Wagering Gonzaga @ Utah

The Gonzaga Bulldogs (8-3 SU, 5-4 ATS, 3-6 O/U) have lost two straight games while failing to cover the spread for BetUS NCAA college basketball sports betting enthusiasts each time out.

The Bulldogs were soundly beaten by Portland State 77-70 on Dec. 23, getting 18 points from Matt Bouldin last Tuesday night. The Bulldogs easily failed to cover the spread as a 21.5 point home favorite in that contest.

"We got what we deserve," coach Mark Few said. "They outhustled us, outrebounded us and outplayed us.

"The guys didn't take it seriously enough. And our confidence got knocked back a bit after the UConn game."

The Utah Utes (7-5 SU, 6-5 ATS, 5-4 O/U) are coming off a 60-52 win over UC Irvine on Saturday as Lawrence Borha scored a team-high 18 points. However, the Utes failed to cover the spread for backers as an 11.5-point road favorite.

NCAAB Odds

Gonzaga -6 -110

Utah +6 -110

Analysis: I know that Gonzaga is the nationally-ranked team in this matchup and are clearly not playing good basketball right now, but I’m certain head coach Mark Few has his team in the right frame of mind tonight.

I like the Bulldogs to get back to form with an emphatic victory over a mediocre Portland State team.
