Saint Mary’s defense is givign up only 58.1 points per game and their defense is going to step up in this game. Gonzaga’s offense is going to score more than 58.1 points, but they aren’t going to have the best offensive game of the season, Their offense is going to struggle enough and Saint Mary’s is going to cover the spread.
