Latest betting odds for Gonzaga Bulldogs vs. USF Dons WCC men's basketball matchup
Two West Coast Conference heavyweights square off at the Chase Center on Thursday when the Gonzaga Bulldogs look to clinch the No. 2 spot in the league standings with a win over the San Francisco Dons.

Nolan Hickman has been on fire from behind the arc, where he's shooting 46.3% in WCC games. The junior has knocked down four or more 3-pointers in the last four games, the first Gonzaga player to have that kind of stretch since Derek Raivio in the 2006-07 season.
