Tony's Picks: Gonzaga 82, Kansas 76

It writes: "Following the thorough analysis of betting trends, the Bulldogs seems to be the less risky pick. Their offense’s effectiveness and ability to keep their cool in a critical game help them win this game. Nevertheless, the Jayhawks would stay in the game and possible brilliance of their important players may end up with the final score more balanced. Gonzaga is still expected to win the final game, but it won’t come without a challenge from Kansas. The spread could be an interesting bet for the bettors. The over on the total point also seems to be an attractive wager, based upon both schools’ capability to score quickly."
