In the game between Oregon State and Gonzaga, the spread is set at Gonzaga -18.5. Gonzaga has a strong offense, scoring 86.0 points per game, while Oregon State scores 71.4 points per game. Given Gonzaga’s higher scoring and better shooting stats, picking Gonzaga to cover the -18.5 spread is reasonable. The projected score is Gonzaga 88, Oregon State 67.
The over/under line for this game is set at 145.5. Combining Gonzaga’s offensive power with Oregon State’s lower scoring average, the total points might not exceed the line.
