Texas Longhorns vs. Gonzaga Bulldogs

We are laying the 5.5 points with Gonzaga as Texas enters their third game in five days, following a high-exhaustion schedule that included a First Four battle in Dayton and an upset over BYU. While Texas relies on Matas Vokietaitis’s interior presence, Gonzaga’s high-liquidity offensive engine (88.5 PPG) is bolstered by the return of senior wing Jalen Warley, who proved his health with a 12-rebound double-double in the opening round. Given Texas's significant travel fatigue and the Bulldogs' +14.2 average margin of victory, Gonzaga is positioned to overwhelm the Longhorns in a Portland environment that effectively serves as a home game for the Zags.
