Gonzaga plays their first game in eight days on Monday when they face the tournament-cemented San Francisco. The Dons virtually punched their ticket by distancing themselves for most of Saturday night against a desperate BYU Cougars team.
The game is the Bulldogs’ first game back since losing on the road to Saint Mary’s. Draftkings has not yet come out with a line, but Gonzaga is a 82-71 favorite according to KenPom.

San Francisco 24-8, 10-5 in WCC, KenPom #21
In a semi-final game that feels like the epilogue for one team and the prologue for another, the Zags will likely look to get back to executing their preferred style of play and shake off whatever rust and pent-up frustration they bared from their rough loss.
