The Gonzaga Bulldogs have gone through the entire season losing only one game, and those people who thought they might trip up somewhere in the NCAA Tournament on the way to the Final Four were very surprised, to say the least. On Saturday they will have the opportunity to advance to the championship game, as they go up against the South Carolina Gamecocks in a duel between programs who have never made it to this point before. Game time is 6:05 PM ET at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, AZ, and BetAnySports customers, who can enjoy great Asian Internet casino action with three no-download options, will also have the opportunity to place wagers during the game itself as they access the state-of-the-art software from Live Betting Ultra.

South Carolina was unranked when this tournament started, and they were a team shooting only 41.6% from the field. But in these four NCAA Tournament games, they have shot 52%, 43%, 46% and 49%, and it obviously indicates an improvement on the offensive side. And if that wasn’t enough, consider that they have scored 54 points in the second half against Marquette, a whopping 65 against Duke and 44 against Florida in the Elite Eight, as they won the rubber match with the Gators for the right to advance to Glendale. South Carolina is currently 26-10 straight-up and 15-17-1 against the basketball pointspread.

Gonzaga easily won the West Coast Conference regular season and tournament titles, defeating nationally-ranked St. Mary’s three times by double digits along the way. But they weren’t just a team with a bloated record out of a small conference; they have victories over Florida, Iowa State and Arizona on their resume, and they won resoundingly over Xavier by in 83-59 score in the Elite Eight round. Jonathan Williams, a Missouri transfer, has emerged in a big way for the Bulldogs, and he scored 19 points against the Musketeers.

BetAnySports patrons know that this could wind up being a battle between the two best players on the floor – for South Carolina, it is Sindarius Thornwell, the SEC player of the year, who has scored almost 26 points per game in this tournament. He has been consistently impossible for teams to deal with, and at 6-5, is very difficult for opponents to put a defensive stopper on him. For Gonzaga, Nigel Williams-Goss, the transfer from Washington, has to break out of a mini-slump. The West Coast Conference player of the year, who averaged 16.7 points and 5.9 rebounds, has shot only 31% in the tournament thus far. And he’s lucky that Gonzaga has some balance, as well as the ability to play shutdown defense. If the Bulldogs get something out of him on Saturday, that might be a really big bonus for them.

This game matches up the teams that ranked 1-2 nationwide in Adjusted Defensive Efficiency, according to the analytics site PlaySlots4RealMoney.com. Gonzaga has been equally adept at stopping shots from beyond the arc (allowing 29.3%) and inside the three-point line (yielding just 39.8%). And part of the inside defense involves their ability to put to seven-footers on the floor, usually at different times, but they always have a big man fresh. We’ll expect a low-scoring game, probably going UNDER the total.
