TOM STRYKER’S FREE COLLEGE BASKETBALL SELECTION SATURDAY, MARCH 23RD
#852 GONZAGA (-) over Baylor at 7:10 PM EST
After ripping Fairleigh-Dickinson to shreds by 38 points in the opening round, Gonzaga will dominate Baylor from start-to-finish in this Big Dance whipping. The Bears enter this contest off an upset win over a subpar Orangemen bunch and its time for them to go into hibernation.
A couple of solid wagering angles help our cause here too. Since the start of March last year, the Bulldogs have gone on a tear posting a solid 36-4 SU and 22-15 ATS record in their last 40 games. In this role priced as a pup or a favorite of -13.5 or less, the ‘Zags improve to a profitable 8-4 ATS. Also, in the Round of 32, No. 1 seeds that take the court off exactly one straight up win hold a profitable 33-3 SU and 22-14 ATS record. If our “play on” side sports a team won/loss percentage of .845 or higher, this situation jumps to a lucrative 27-0 SU and 20-7 ATS including a nearly perfect 8-1 ATS if they are laying -11 or more.
This is a tough spot for the Bears. According to the Team Stryker Database, college teams in the Round of 32 that demolished the Las Vegas pointspread by 10 points or more in their NCAA Tournament opener hold a woeful 136-160-4 ATS record. If our “play against” side was priced as an underdog in that blowout victory, this postseason system falls to a pitiful 48-85-1 ATS. That spells trouble for Baylor. Also, in the Big Dance, the No. 9 seed owns a nasty 2-30 SU and 10-22 ATS record when it takes the floor off a straight up win of six points or more and is now battling the No. 1 seed. If the No. 9 seed sports a team won/loss percentage of .655 or less, this situation drops to a dismal 0-5 SU and ATS.
Kudos to the Bears for making it this far with limited talent. However, the Bulldogs are one of college basketball’s best and BU will be no match for this juggernaut. Take Gonzaga. Thanks and best of luck, Tom.
