Saint Mary's vs Gonzaga prediction
Saint Mary's vs Gonzaga best bet: Saint Mary's +9 (-110)
Although the Gonzaga Bulldogs have won 14 straight games, they are just 1-5 against the spread in their last six home contests. Gonzaga has dominated the West Coast Conference for decades, but the Saint Mary’s Gaels have matched them over the past few years.
The Gaels are 4-2 SU and ATS in the last six meetings, including a pair of upset wins in Spokane. They defend extremely well, control the glass, and convert from the line at the highest clip in the country.
Gonzaga will also be without Braden Huff (17.8 ppg), and leading scorer Graham Ike could be limited after missing two weeks with a sprained ankle.
