Wvirginia +1.5 (4.4* POD)
One of the more interesting games between two of the top 15 rebounding teams in the nation. West Virginia plays physical basketball in one of the most physical conferences. While Gonzaga plays in a finesse conference int he Big West they are pretty tough themselves. However, I like how West Virginia matches up particularly with Kilicki 6'9 260 vs. Robert Sacre 7'0 260. I think it will be challenging for Sacre to score points and get rebounds with a big body in the paint that he's not used to. On the flip side I give West Virginia the edge at guard with Sr. Truck Bryant over Freshman Kevin Pangos. Bryant is the key if he can get hot in this game West Virginia will cruise.

West Virginia though will win the rebounding margin in my opinion over their last 5 they were +9.2 on the offensive glass while Gonzaga was -2.4. They've gotten it done in a tougher college and their two best players are Seniors in Kevin Jones and Bryant. West Virginia has a lot to prove after they blew a lead against Uconn in the Big East Tournament. This game will be 75 miles away from West Virginia's campus while Gonzaga has to fly 2200 miles.
