UConn vs. Gonzaga Predictions

The Gonzaga Bulldogs roll into Las Vegas to take on the UConn Huskies in a primetime matchup for a chance to go to the Final Four! 

Gonzaga is coming off a 3-point thrilling victory over UCLA where Julian Strawther hit a logo three with just under 6 seconds left in the game! Drew Timme has been nothing short of dominant in his tournament run, and at some points, he’s willed his team to victory!

While Timme and the Zags have been spectacular UConn has quietly been one of the most dominant forces in the tournament. This game will come down to the matchups down low with the real question being can Drew Timme dominate Adama Sanogo like he’s done to everyone else in his path? Timme is coming off 36 and 28 points in his last two games, and while he’s been getting all the attention, Sanogo has scored 18 and 24 in his most recent contests. 

Overall, there’s no doubt Gonzaga has been battle tested and faced the most challenging competition in the tournament so far. They’ve gone through powerhouses with the likes of UCLA and TCU, while UConn has beaten underwhelming competition with the likes of Iona, Saint Mary’s, and most recently Arkansas. The feeling throughout the world is it’s Gonzaga’s time, I like them to win here as a slight underdog and advance to the Final Four.
