Gonzaga Bulldogs Betting Breakdown
The 19th-ranked Bulldogs have come out swinging to start the season, showing why they’re still the gold standard of the West Coast. Gonzaga (2-0) rolled past Texas Southern and Oklahoma, and they’re not just winning, they’re bullying teams inside and out.
Coach Mark Few’s latest roster shuffle looks like a masterclass in transfer-portal chemistry. Graham Ike has been a beast in the paint, averaging 16 points and 11 rebounds while controlling the glass like he’s collecting rent. Tyon Grant-Foster adds mid-range touch and attacking flair, while Braden Huff brings solid two-way hustle after years of waiting his turn.
Few loves the depth of this lineup, with Adam Miller dropping threes and Jalen Warley locking down guards. The Zags are also protecting the ball, just seven turnovers against Oklahoma in a high-paced contest and dominating the boards with 18 offensive rebounds. That’s how you suffocate opponents and cover big spreads.
If Gonzaga keeps this rhythm, Creighton’s going to be in for a long night in Spokane.
Prediction for Gonzaga: Expect a steady offensive avalanche with multiple double-figure scorers. The Bulldogs’ ball movement and inside scoring should overwhelm Creighton’s rebuilding defense.
Creighton Bluejays Betting Breakdown
Creighton (1-0) enters Spokane looking for an identity after losing star center Ryan Kalkbrenner to the NBA and two more key pieces from last season. Coach Greg McDermott has rebuilt teams before, but this one still looks like it’s finding its wings.
The Bluejays’ season-opening 92-76 win over South Dakota showed flashes of potential. Iowa transfer Owen Freeman dropped 19 points and looked every bit like the focal point of a new offense. McDermott hit the 500-win mark last week, but his young roster remains a work in progress, especially on defense and spacing.
The Bluejays’ offense is scrappy, but keeping pace with Gonzaga’s firepower in The Kennel is a tall order.
Prediction for Creighton: Expect effort and flashes of promise, but their defense won’t be able to handle the Zags’ inside-out attack for 40 minutes.
Expert Final Score Prediction
The Bulldogs keep their home dominance alive with a statement win, covering the spread behind Ike’s dominance and Few’s balanced lineup.
Final Score: Gonzaga 92, Creighton 77
Lean: Gonzaga -13.0
Total: Over 167.5
