TOM STRYKER’S FREE BASKETBALL SELECTION SATURDAY, JANUARY 21ST
#811 GONZAGA (-17) over Pacific at 10 PM EST
Off that surprising one-point home loss to Loyola Marymount, Gonzaga will travel to Stockton and absolutely drill Pacific. The Tigers enter this WCC battle off back-to-back SU and ATS losses and they don’t have enough talent on the floor to stay competitive in this matchup.
Since 2012, the Bulldogs have been a force in this series notching a solid 18-0 SU and 11-7 ATS record. In this run facing a Tigers squad that arrives off a straight up loss, the Zags improve to a reliable 14-0 SU and 10-4 ATS. Additionally, when coming off a straight up loss, head coach Mark Few and his troops own a phenomenal 38-3 SU and 27-10-2 ATS mark provided their opponent takes the floor off a straight up loss as well. In this setting favored between -9 and -26 points, Gonzaga cruises to a powerful 20-0 SU and 17-2-1 ATS. Also, in conference play taking the court off a blemish, the Bulldogs hold a respectable 37-4 SU and 26-14-1 ATS tally.
Since the start of the 2021-22 season, Pacific has experienced huge financial problems posting a ridiculous 18-33 SU and 13-32-2 ATS record in its last 51 games. In this run fighting a foe that played in the comforts of home last, the Tigers drop to a nasty 3-14 SU and 2-14-1 ATS including a nasty 0-10 SU and ATS provided their opponent holds a team won/loss percentage of .500 or better. Finally, in the underdog role, the Pac-Rat holds a feeble 27-43-1 ATS record including a rough 10-23-1 ATS provided this is a conference game.
The Zags 8-20 ATS mark in their last 28 lined games is noted. However, Coach Few isn’t happy about the loss to the Lions and he will have his squad ready to go here. Take Gonzaga. Thanks and best of luck, Tom.
