In the West Region, the Syracuse Orange [-6½] look to make it into the Sweet 16 when they battle the 8th seeded sports betting odds underdog Gonzaga Bulldogs [+6½]. This matchup will take place at the HSBC Arena in Buffalo, NY, beginning at 12:10 PM ET (11:10 AM CT).

I don’t want to be upset about it,” Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said Saturday. “It makes no sense.”
For the Zags, they’ll be trying to derail the top-seeded Orange after winning a war to finally Florida State 67-60.The OVER/UNDER for this, Gonzaga vs Syracuse 2010 NCAA Bracket Picks is set at a combined total of 148 points scored.
“It’s really difficult. Obviously, you’re not going to go very hard today,” Bulldogs head coach Mark Few said. “We haven’t seen anything like that all year. Obviously, there aren’t many like it, especially with the size and athleticism that they bring.
“Then the other thing that’s very impressive is they run the basketball and get out in transition. Being able to somehow slow that thing down is a tall task in 24 hours.”
