The Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions are set to visit McCarthey Athletic Center in Spokane, Washington for a non-conference clash against the Gonzaga Bulldogs. The Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions come into this matchup with a 0-1 record, and they will be looking to rebound after dropping their recent road game against the USF Bulls, 70-41. Leading the way for the Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions was junior forward Shaun Doss as he recorded 10 points and 4 rebounds. Junior forward Markedric Bell had a solid game off the bench for the Golden Lions as he pitched in 10 points and 4 rebounds.

The Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions struggled at shooting the ball against the USF Bulls as they connected on 13 of their 45 field goal attempts (28.9%), but they were slightly better from behind the three-point line (33.3%). The Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions lost the turnover battle against the USF Bulls (21-13), and they were edged out by the Bulls in the rebounding department (39-30).

The Gonzaga Bulldogs come into this matchup with a 1-0 record, and they will be looking to continue their success after winning their recent home game against the Alabama State Hornets, 95-64. Leading the way for the Gonzaga Bulldogs was junior forward Corey Kispert as he connected on 5 of his 6 three-point attempts for 28 points. Joining Kispert in the frontcourt was sophomore Filip Petrusev who had a productive outing with 15 points and 6 rebounds.

The Gonzaga Bulldogs had a good shooting game against the Alabama State Hornets as they connected on 34 of their 59 field goal attempts (57.6%), and they were good from behind the three-point line (50%). The Gonzaga Bulldogs won the turnover battle against the Alabama State Hornets (21-8), and they outrebounded the Hornets (34-25).

The Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions are one of the worst teams in college basketball as they went 13-19 last season, and they were blown out in the season opener by an average USF team by 29 points. The Gonzaga Bulldogs are once again a contender for the National Championship as they have a ton of depth, especially in the frontcourt. The Bulldogs proved in the season opener that they are trying to run their offense through Kispert and Petrusev, and I just don’t see Arkansas-Pine Bluff having enough big bodies to throw at the duo. Gonzaga will look to draw the Golden Lions into foul trouble, and the game will spiral fast if the Bulldogs are able to do that at home. Final Score Prediction, Gonzaga Bulldogs win and cover ATS 84-48
