Sunday, March 21st in Buffalo, N.Y.<\/p>\n<p>Gonzaga (26-6) won the West Coast Conference regular season title with a 12-2 record in conference play, but they were crushed by St. Mary\u2019s 81-62, a team they beat twice in the regular season in the conference tournament title game making you wonder what kind of frame of mind they would bring into this tournament. <\/p>\n<p>With impressive wins over Wisconsin (74-61), Cincinnati (61-59 in OT), and Illinois (85-83 in OT) earlier in the season, you knew they were battle tested against teams from the major conferences, but drawing Florida State would be a stern test in the first round. With an impressive 67-60 victory they passed with flying colors. After building a 35-19 lead in the first half, they held off a Seminole second half rally to come away with the six point win. <\/p>\n<p>Senior G Matt Bouldin scored 14 of his game high 17 points in the second half and junior G Steven Grey added 15 points and eight rebounds to help advance the Zags into the second round.<\/p>\n<p>Going into the final week of the regular season Syracuse (29-4) was on quite a roll. They had just beaten Villanova in convincing fashion 95-77 and were the number one ranked team in the country in both major polls with a chance to get the first #1 seed in the NCAA\u2019s. <\/p>\n<p>After a season ending 68-78 loss to Louisville and a first round exit in the Big East Conference Tournament at the hands of Georgetown (84-91) for the first time all season there were a few question marks surrounding this team. To make matters worse, senior F Arinze Onuaku strained a quad muscle in the loss to the Hoyas and remains a day to day decision for this tournament. <\/p>\n<p>In drawing Vermont in the first round, the Orange had a chance to get back on track in what amounted to be little more than a brisk workout. <\/p>\n<p>They opened up a 12 point lead at the half and coasted to a 79-56 win over the Catamounts.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bmaker.ag\/latest-promo\/?cmpid=17435_3889\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #ffffff;\" src=\"http:\/\/banners.bmaker.ag\/images\/march_mad_240_240_0.gif?cmpid=14237_1929\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"240\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Five players scored in double figures led by junior F Wes Johnson\u2019s 18 points. With Onuaku still questionable for this game, they will need another total team effort to advance to the Sweet 16.<\/p>\n<p>Gonzaga presents a difficult match up for Syracuse especially if Onuaku is out of the lineup. <\/p>\n<p>Even if he is ready to go, you have to question how effective he would be. <\/p>\n<p>Look for the Bulldogs to keep this game close right to the end. The Orange pull out the win, but do not cover the 3 \u00bd points.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Betting Trends:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Gonzaga is 19-3 SU in its last 22 games<br \/>\nSyracuse is 16-3 SU in its last 19 games<br \/>\nGonzaga average 77.2 PPG<br \/>\nSyracuase average 81.4 PPG<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bulldogs vs. Orange Round 2 Free Pick: <\/strong> Gonzaga     +3.5 <\/p>\n<p><strong>2010 Bracketology (Click Links Below To View Each March Madness Bracket)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/blog\/ncaa-basketball\/midwest-regional-bracket-matchups-picks-140410\/\"><strong>MIDWEST Bracket (St. Louis)<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/blog\/ncaa-basketball\/west-regional-bracket-matchups-picks-140410\/\"><strong>WEST Bracket (Salt Lake City)<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/blog\/ncaa-basketball\/east-regional-bracket-matchups-picks-140410\/\"><strong>EAST Bracket (Syracuse)<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/blog\/ncaa-basketball\/south-regional-bracket-matchups-picks-140410\/\"><strong>SOUTH Bracket (Houston)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Gamblers looking for the best online <a href=\"\/blog\/category\/ncaa-basketball\/\"><strong>free march madness Round 2 picks<\/strong><\/a> and 2010 bracket predictions?
