Gonzaga Boasts Two Naismith Contenders

Time is a flat circle.

Gonzaga is once again expected to be a powerhouse in college basketball, but will they finally break their curse and win a National Championship? If the Bulldogs are going to pull it off, they’ll need stellar play from Drew Timme and freshman Chet Holmgren.

Timme made a name for himself during the March Madness tournament last year, and now he’s returning for his junior season as the betting favorite to be named the top player in the country.

Freshman Chet Holmgren is tied for third on the list at +1000. He was the No. 1 ranked prospect in the country, as the seven-foot center displays a level of athleticism that is unheard of for guys his height. Rumor is that he has the potential to be a generational talent.

WynnBET has Gonzaga as the betting favorite to win the national championship at +800 (bet $100 to profit $800). The Bulldogs are also listed at +200 to return to the Final Four for the third time in the last five March Madness tournaments.
