No. 1 Gonzaga is facing a huge test in its toughest remaining regular-season game. The Bulldogs are 7-point favorites on the road against No. 13 Baylor, a team they barely beat in overtime earlier this season. Baylor led by as many as 20 points at one point, but Gonzaga rallied to force OT and win the game. The Bears are a much better team at home, but the Bulldogs are still the top team in the country and should be able to win this game.
