Point Spread: -7½/-110 Ohio State

Sportsbook: BookMaker

Result: Loss

Today's winner is Ohio State over Gonzaga. This is my Syndicate Game of the Year.

Gonzaga looked great on Thursday, as they beat West Virginia, 77-54. But the Mountaineers are truly a flawed squad. The Bulldogs won't have the luxury of as many good looks here as they did in that last outing. They must face a Buckeyes unit that is comprised of super stars, Sullinger, Thomas, and Buford (48.0 PPG and 19.3 RPG). Ohio State is a bigger, stronger, and more-physical team than anything Gonzaga has had to face this season. OSU can out-rebound and manhandle just about any team in the nation. They are 6-2 ATS their L8 games played on a neutral site, 4-1 ATS their L5 games vs. teams with a SU record, and 4-1 ATS their L5 games played overall. The Bulldogs are 3-7 ATS their L10 NCAA Tournament games, 1-4 ATS their L5 games following a SU win, and 1-4 ATS their L5 games following an ATS win. Take Ohio State. Thank you.
