Thanksgiving week might be a distant memory for most of us, but not for these teams. In Gonzaga's 27-point win early this season over Ohio State, the subplot involved Keita Bates-Diop (19.5 ppg) being held to seven points by the Zags' armada of big men. He can score from the perimeter, but points in the paint will be hard to come by. Bates-Diop's supporting cast is not capable enough to fill the scoring void.

Ohio State looked like the best team in the Big 10 for much of the season, notching a blowout win over Michigan State and a road win against Purdue to make its case. Veterans such as Keita Bates-Diop and Jae'Sean Tate make this club a threat in the postseason. It's a testament to Mark Few's talent that he managed to lead Gonzaga to another WCC title despite working with a completely overhauled roster coming off last year's national title-game appearance. His club should be a threat next season, but Ohio State's edge in experience should be the difference Saturday.

These teams met in November in Portland, Ore., and Ohio State got crushed, 86-59. While the Zags had a home-court edge then, Saturday's spread is a little too high, especially with a Gonzaga squad that rarely covers its high-rated spread. The Zags have won 15 straight, but covered in just five of them. They're also 5-12 ATS in their last 17 contests. This Buckeyes squad is much more cohesive this time around. In a revenge spot, take the Buckeyes.
