(5%) GONZAGA. After a tough stretch at the betting window, the Bulldogs got on track in a big way last game. Laying -24.5 at Portland, they smashed Portland by 43 points. I expect them to carry the positive momentum into Tuesday's “revenge” game against Oregon State. This is a game which the Bulldogs have had circled. Recall that the Beavers upset them, in Overtime, at Corvallis, less than two weeks ago. Gonzaga doesn't just want to win this game; it wants to run the Beavers right out of the building. While the Beavers are an impressive 13-1 on their home floor, they're only 1-4 on the road. Their last road game was an 11-point loss at San Francisco. While the Dons are tough, they're not nearly as tough as the Bulldogs. Earlier, Oregon State lost by 21 at Loyola Marymount. Once again, this is a far more difficult venue. The last time that Gonzaga played a regular season game when playing with same season revenge, was the final game of the reg season last year. Santa Clara had beaten them earlier but the revenge-minded Bulldogs blew them out, easily covering, in the rematch. Order restored, look for the Bulldogs to blow out the Beavers.
