This West Coast game will see the Gonzaga Bulldogs take on the St. Mary’s Gaels. Even with a solid record, the Gaels need this signature win because of how weak their conference is.
This will be the first meeting between these teams this season. Last time they met, the Gaels beat Gonzaga 60-47 in the West Coast Conference championship game.
Gonzaga Bulldogs
The Bulldogs had another easy game a few night ago when they beat Loyola Marymount, 85-67. They did not cover this game however because they were favored by 25 points. In fact, the Bulldogs have not covered any of their last three games.
Offensively, this team is clearly the top scoring team in the country. They average 88.5 points per game. However, this average drops to 85.2 in home games. The Bulldogs also have the 2nd best shooting percentage in the country. Coming in at 51.2% from the field and 38.7% from the three-point line.
Gonzaga also has the one of if not the most balanced teams in the country. They have six guys who average between 10.3 and 17.2. They should have absolutely no problem scoring on this Gaels team.

Defensively, the Bulldogs allow 67.2 points per game. This does not rank great compared to the rest of the country, but they usually do not have to worry because their offense just runs up the score on everyone.
St. Mary’s Gaels
The Gaels got a mid-week win over San Diego, but only won 66-60. This is not great news because San Diego is an inferior opponent and St. Mary’s could only win by six.
Their offense is still averaging 76.2 points per game, which is a top 53 in the country. They also shoot the ball extremely well, averaging 48.3% from the field. What will keep them in this game is their three-point shooting. They average 41.7% from deep range and rank 2nd in the country.
The Gaels rely on Jordan Ford (21 points per game) and Malik Fitts (16.9 points per game). Both of these guys shoot above 41% from the three-point line and that is how they will stay competitive against the Bulldogs.
Defensively, the Gaels are average at best, allowing 65.4 points per game. In home games, they allow 62.2 points per game. Against the West Coast at home, they allow 65.7 points per game, so nothing special, but nothing terrible either.
Now something the Gaels are very good at, is limiting their opponents rebounds. They allow 27.6 boards per game, which ranks 16th in the country.
CBB Betting Trends:
- Under is 21-6 in the last 27 meetings.
- Under is 6-2 in the last 8 meetings in St. Mary’s.
- Under is 34-15-2 in SMC last 51 vs. West Coast.
Free Gonzaga Bulldogs vs. St. Mary’s Gaels NCAAB Prediction:
The Bulldogs are by far the better team and will likely get the win. However, they have had trouble winning games by margin, so I like for St. Mary’s to keep this game very close. By St. Mary’s keeping it close, it probably means they are playing great defense and for that reason, I like the under.
