You Probably Shouldn't Trust SportsNation About Sports Betting
So the Old Spice Classic hasn't happened yet. It starts on Nov. 22, Thanksgiving, with West Virginia, Gonzaga, Davidson, Clemson, Marist, UTEP, Oklahoma, and Vanderbilt battling to win all the deodorant. ESPN polled its loyal subjects, and they like West Virginia to win. But why, oh, why?
Gonzaga and West Virginia have already played each other. Gonzaga, which was -10 to win on Monday, ended up taking it by 34 points. This was a rematch of the 2012 NCAA Tournament eight months ago, when Gonzaga beat West Virginia by 23 points. Gonzaga should win.
Stranger things have happened: The Dayton Flyers won this tournament last year (although against some terrible teams). And West Virginia is, like, super high-scoring, right? But still.
