The No. 11 ranked Gonzaga Bulldogs face off against the San Francisco Dons on Wednesday night.
The Zags moved into first place in the conference after a 94-86 win last weekend and my Gonzaga vs. San Francisco predictions expect another strong offensive performance.
Here are my best free college basketball picks for this WCC showdown on February 18.
Gonzaga vs San Francisco prediction
Gonzaga vs San Francisco best bet: Gonzaga Team Total Over 81.5 (-120)
The San Francisco Dons have allowed 80+ points in their last five games at home. Last week they surrendered 90 points to a slow-paced Oregon State squad that ranks 178th in adjusted offense.
They won't be able to contain the Gonzaga Bulldogs who are 19th in adjusted offense and play at a blazing-fast tempo.
The Zags scored just 68 points against the Dons last month but went 3-18 from deep and were missing leading scorer Graham Ike who has returned to the lineup. With the Dons allowing opponents to shoot 45.7% from the arc since, expect positive regression for Gonzaga.

Gonzaga vs San Francisco same-game parlay
The Dons have lost their last two home games by a combined 36 points to a pair of teams outside the Top 150 in the KenPom ratings. They'll get smoked early by the Zags who check in at No. 11 at KenPom and will be motivated after almost losing the previous meeting.
The Dons went 14-28 from deep in that previous clash but don't expect that to happen again since the Zags are 39th in the country in 3-point defense (30.9%). That has me betting the Under 1.5 threes for big man Junjie Wang who has gone below this number in five of his last seven games.
