OddsChecker: Take Gonzaga to cover against TCU
It writes: "When TCU tops 70, when they don’t they lose. It’s that simple for them. Only once did they score less than 70 and win a game this year. The good news is that Gonzaga’s not good enough defensively to keep TCU below 70 in all likelihood. The bad news is that Gonzaga’s offense is so good that just topping 70 probably won’t be enough in this one. So, while TCU probably makes this a closer game than many think, it’s still Gonzaga’s to lose."

Sports Illustrated: Go with TCU with the points vs. Gonzaga
Steven Hall writes: "We really like the way the Horned Frogs match up with the Bulldogs, which is why we’re taking their +4.5 spread in our Gonzaga vs. TCU predictions … They already get solid offensive production and if they can generate some offense from distance, which they should be able to, there’s no reason they can’t hang with Gonzaga."

Sports Chat Place: Bet Gonzaga to cover against TCU
Randy Chambers writes: "Give the TCU Horned Frogs credit for finding a way to advance, and they’re a scrappy bunch that plays ugly but finds a way more times than not. Still, TCU has ugly stretches offensively and relies heavily on Mike Miles to bail them out. The Gonzaga Bulldogs are well coached, experienced and should be able to form a defensive game plan to force others on TCU to beat them. The line is reasonable. Gonzaga is 3-1 ATS when favorites of 4.5 or fewer points. I’d need an extra bucket or two to strongly consider TCU. Give me the Zags and cheap chalk."

It writes: "The Gonzaga Bulldogs come into Sunday playing some of their best basketball of the year and will continue to roll. Look for the size and depth of the Zags to be too much for TCU to handle. Take Gonzaga Sunday to do enough to get the win and cover as they roll into the second weekend following an easy win over TCU."
