Portland State Vikings vs #6 Gonzaga Bulldogs. The NCAAB pick for this game is the #6 Gonzaga Bulldogs. Portland State won’t pull off a second consecutive upset in this game against the Zags.

Gonzaga is still doing a fantastic job of getting the shots they want and using their strength inside, which will be a problem for a Portland State team that is giving up a lot of free throws to the opponent this year.

Although Gonzaga must be careful not to commit turnovers, they did so more frequently than three of the top teams in the nation.

The Vikings can create turnovers, but they do not fall into the same category as those other three teams. Since this contest is near enough to a home game that there won’t be an unfriendly crowd, Gonzaga will exert their will.

Watch for the Zags to do what they do best, which is shoot the ball quickly, guard the paint, and perform. The #6 Gonzaga Bulldogs will win to a predicted score of 95-67.
