TCU Horned Frogs Betting Preview
- Overall Record: 22-12
- Conference Record: 9-9
TCU arrive to this second round of March Madness in miraculous fashion, as they defeated Arizona State by a score of 72-70. The victory was achieved in the final seconds of the game, which speaks of the anguish the squad could have been suffering in those moments. In fact, they were seven points behind their opponents until the end of the first half of the game.
Now, they come to face this duel full of motivation. TCU will be playing against an opponent that has looked quite comfortable throughout the college basketball season. The Horned Frogs have raised many uncertainties throughout the campaign, and if these issues persist, they could pose a significant obstacle to reaching the Sweet 16.
Gonzaga Bulldogs Betting Preview
- Overall Record: 29-5
- Conference Record: 14-2
Gonzaga was solid in its March Madness first round game and it defeated Grand Canyon by a score of 82-70. While the match was quite entertaining, with both teams putting forward their proposals, the Bulldogs showed why they are the reigning champions of the WCC.
Julian Strawther stood out in the game with 28 points and 10 rebounds, being one of the main architects of this victory, as Drew Timme was also one of those who stole looks with his contribution of 15 points. The Zags focus a lot on offense and may be looking to do some damage that way against a team that is not as strong defensively.
JefeBet Prediction
TCU vs Gonzaga may be one of the closest matchups in the second round of March Madness, as the former is the #6 Seed and the latter the #3 Seed. TCU doesn’t often connect three-point shots, and that could be one of their weaknesses, in addition to mistakes on defense. Meanwhile, the Bulldogs will probably suffer more than they should, but they are the favorites to reach the Sweet 16.
Prediction: Gonzaga Bulldogs win by a score of 84-79.
