The West Region is wide open after No. 1 seed Kansas fell to Arkansas in the Round of 32, meaning the winner of Thursday night's Gonzaga vs. UCLA Sweet 16 matchup will be in a prime position to make a run to the Final Four.

As one would expect in a matchup between No. 2 and No. 3 seeds, the latest Gonzaga vs. UCLA odds suggest that tonight's matchup is essentially a toss up.

The Bruins are 1.5-point favorites against the Bulldogs as of the time of writing, meaning that Thursday's Sweet 16 contest could be a very competitive one.

But when it comes solely to Sweet 16 picks, the over/under may be offering the smartest bet for Gonzaga vs. UCLA.
