This is also a big game for Gonzaga as they look the hold onto 2nd place in the WCC which comes with a double bye in the conference tournament. Right now the Zags sit at 8-2 in conference with 8-3 BYU right on their heels. As if the revenge with St. Mary's wasn't enough this will provide even more incentive for the Zags to come out of this one with a win. For a regular season game there's about as much on the line here as you can get for Gonzaga. While St. Mary's would like a win, a loss really wouldn't do anything to them. They've got the WCC locked up, a tournament bid basically locked up, and not much left to gain. Give the hungry team with more to play for and a shot at revenge at home.

The Zags seem to lack much of an inside presence, and settle for too many outside shots. I've only seem them 3-4 times this year, but they just seem to play sloppy a lot of times. Even the Pepperdine game was brutal to watch, and the score did not indicate how bad they played. (Pepperdine is 1000x worse than the Zags) I respect your points about the revenge, and what they have to play for, but I just can't back the Zags here vs. a more talented team, even at home. My lean is SMC +3.5. haven't decided if I'm going to play it yet or not. More times than not, the Zags have had SMC's number, so I'm sure nothing would please them more than to stick it to them when they have the chance.
thx, and BOL either way.
