There are dozens of college basketball games on the schedule tonight, including a lopsided affair out west between Gonzaga and San Diego. Although the 23-point spread is unbettable, this game has one good spot to play. Let’s get to the best college basketball pick for Wednesday, Feb. 23.
Sharp College Basketball Bet: Gonzaga-San Diego
Gonzaga is a massive home 23-point home favorite in a game with a 164.5-point total. That is a ton of points, but it still is not enough given the situation here. Gonzaga leads the country in points per game, and at home it is even deadlier, averaging north of 90 points. There is little chance of San Diego slowing Gonzaga down, and the Bulldogs could hit 100 in this one.
San Diego is an average-at-best team that at times cannot play defense. The Toreros gave up 99 points to Pacific and 98 to Loyola Marymount, and there were plenty of other subpar defensive showings this year. They have an efficient offense that likes to play at a decently upbeat tempo, and that is equally as important as their lack of defense. San Diego can do its part offensively, but there is no way to slow down Gonzaga in this one. Given the styles and talent disparity, there will be at least 165 points.
