The Kennesaw State Owls could salvage an ATS win in their first-round NCAA men’s basketball match-up with the Gonzaga Bulldogs, who are 1-4 in their last five games when favored by 20 or more points.
Current Form:
The Gonzaga Bulldogs are coming into the big dance with a title under their belt after defeating Santa Clara 79-68 in the West Coast Conference Tournament. Like the previous iterations of Gonzaga, this team has talents all over the roster, but doesn’t solely rely on one star player. Senior forward Graham Ike, who averages 19.7 points and 8.2 rebounds this season, will make his final attempt to lead the Bulldogs to the promised land before he enters the draft.
The Kennesaw State Owls secured a spot in this year’s NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament after downing the Louisiana State Bulldogs 71-60 in the CUSA championship match. Sophomore guard Randy Johnson is the main man for the Owls, averaging 14.5 points and 3.1 rebounds per game this season.

Our Gonzaga vs Kennesaw State Owls Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Kennesaw State covers the spread in a 71-83 loss to Gonzaga
Kennesaw State isn’t going to win this match-up, but a +21.5 points bonus should help them cover the spread against the Zags. Kennesaw State is 7-2 ATS in its last 9 games played in March and 9-4 ATS in its last 13 games played on a Thursday.
The last time Kennesaw State faced a ranked team, the Owls managed to hold their own, losing by just 11 points to No.16 Alabama on December 21. Meanwhile, the Zags could not cover a 20.5-point handicap in a 65-56 win over Oregon State in the tournament semifinals. In fact, Gonzaga is 1-4 in the last five games in which they need to overcome a handicap of 20 or more points.
Our betting prediction for the Gonzaga Bulldogs vs. the Kennesaw State Owls: Kennesaw State +21.5 points
