Gonzaga easily defeated Georgia State before overcoming a double-digit deficit to beat Memphis in the Round of 32 but may face their stiffest test yet in the Razorbacks.

Arkansas vs. Gonzaga Prediction and Pick
BetSided's Reed Wallach penned a preview for this marquee matchup and here's what he had to say:
"My initial lean is to Arkansas, who can match the Gonzaga up-tempo attack with both teams placing gin the top 30 in adjusted tempo per KenPom, but I'm nervous about the Razorbacks shooting woes.
The team is outside the top 300 in 3-point percentage this season and will need to find ways to generate points outside the paint against Gonzaga's vaunted interior defense that is third in the country defending the rim, per Haslemetrics.
The Razorbacks have beaten elite competition over the last two months, including Kentucky and Auburn, but Gonzaga may have too much fire power for them. With that being said, I'm going to lean towards the under for now. The Hogs are top 60 in the country in generating turnovers and have the on ball chops to match with Andrew Nembhard on the perimeter.
The real question is if the Razorbacks can hang with Drew Timme and Chet Holmgren down low. I'm going to side with a slow start in this one given the fact that Arkansas isn't as explosive on offense but has the defense to hang early. The Zags will flirt with a big point total but I think we see a defensive struggle early.
LEAN: 1H UNDER 73
