    The contrast in styles between these two teams is what stands out most when handicapping this matchup. Gonzaga has been the best offensive team in all of college basketball this season, both in terms of true scoring offense and KenPom’s adjusted efficiency metrics. On the flip side, UCLA’s team defense is simply a thing of beauty and its greatest strength.

    In Thursday’s Sweet 16 showdown in Las Vegas, something will have to give. It’s also impossible to tell which team will have the larger fanbase in attendance at T-Mobile Arena. While Sin City is only a few hours’ drive from Los Angeles, it has also been nicknamed “Kennel South” given how well Bulldogs fans travel to support their team in the WCC Tournament.

    For a third straight season, we'll be getting UCLA-Gonzaga. Zags have won the last two meetings, 83-63 last season and 93-90 in the Final Four overtime classic two seasons ago.

    Despite the Under hitting in many of last weekend’s NCAA Tournament games, there is good reason to believe that the opposite may play out in this regional semifinal. First off, Gonzaga is hardly a standout defensive team. Grand Canyon and TCU were able to score 70 and 81 points, respectively against the Zags last weekend.

    UCLA tends to play at a slower pace but is also a very efficient team at the offensive end. In their Second Round matchup, the Bruins put up 68 points against a very sound Northwestern defense. It may not always be pretty, but Jaime Jacquez Jr. and Tyger Campbell are veterans and more than capable of dissecting the mediocre Gonzaga defense. Amari Bailey has also stepped up huge for UCLA at the offensive end of late and will be one to watch on Thursday.

    Meanwhile, one also has to believe that the Bulldogs will get their points as well. With UCLA losing Jaylen Clark to injury, Drew Timme has one less quality defender to worry about down low. Julian Strawther is also more than capable of getting his own shot from anywhere on the floor.

    Our official college basketball betting Gonzaga vs UCLA prediction will be OVER 145.5 at BetUS. 

    For what it’s worth, the ESPN Matchup Predictor gives UCLA a 65.2% chance to win.

    Bet: OVER 145.5 (-110 at BetUS Sportsbook)

    Henry’s passion for sports dates all the way back to childhood and has ultimately led to a full-fledged career as an analyst and content creator. After getting his start penning fantasy football articles, he forrayed into the betting side of the business in early 2019. His love for sports and statistics proved to be an ideal match with the dedicated research and strategy that handicapping requires. Henry currently specializes in betting analysis and picks for college football, college basketball and NASCAR. He counts the NFL, the WNBA, and NBA player props as additional leagues/markets of interest. Henry graduated from SUNY Buffalo in 2021 with a Communication Studies degree and a Psychology minor. A native of the Finger Lakes region in Upstate New York, he and his pup, Harold, have since relocated to Laramie, Wyoming. Thanks to his professional goals within the sports betting industry, there has been a whole lot of steam on the odds for a move to Las Vegas in 2023! Most of Henry’s free time is spent on outdoor adventures, playing chess, snowboarding, or reading a good book. He is also a competitive powerlifter and aspires to qualify for the USAPL Nationals meet within the next 2-3 years.
