This total should have no problem going over the number with these high scoring teams with 1 that has to win or go home for the season. Look for top efforts from both teams especially the Bulldogs who have their best chance to win the national title in a long time as the field is wide open this year. Gonzaga took the Dons lightly in their first meeting and almost lost then blew them out on their home court. Mark Few is a good coach that will take it one game at a time. Look for Gonzaga to get their March off to a good start with a blowout win over the Dons.
