March Madness gets closer with each passing day, but along the way there is plenty of action in the college basketball market. There are dozens of games to break down, including a rematch between Gonzaga and Loyola Marymount. Normally this wouldn’t be a game to attract attention, but considering Gonzaga lost at home to this team the first time, it takes on a whole new level. Let’s get to the best college basketball bet for Thursday, Feb. 16.
Sharp College Basketball Bet: Gonzaga-Loyola Marymount
Gonzaga is an 8-point favorite and the side to back here, even on the road. The Bulldogs still lead the country in points and field goal percentage, so the issues they have certainly aren’t offensive related. It’s been a challenge at times defensively, but Loyola Marymount has its own issues despite beating the Bulldogs the first time. In that game, the Lions held Gonzaga to 67 points; that will not happen here, even with them at home.
Loyola Marymount is a respectable team and a tough out in its gym, but these teams are on two different levels. Gonzaga should dictate the tempo, and if it does, it will put immense pressure on Loyola Marymount to keep up offensively. The Lions will need a gigantic effort at home to keep pace, and ultimately Gonzaga will run away with this one. Laying 8 at -110 is no problem whatsoever since Gonzaga is probably going to win by double digits.
