Team Rankings supports your view. They rank Xavier 5th in the country (21.9) on their "last 5" power rating and Gonzaga 10th (20.8). Based only on that measure, Xavier would be favored by a point.
We all know that Xavier is a better teMthan what they showed during their slump. The only question was how long it would take for them to figure out how to play without Sumner once they got Bliuett healthy. It looked like that could have been next season. But clearly they have figured it out and now they are a far tougher opponent than their seed otherwise indicates.
