Money Line: -110 Gonzaga

Sportsbook: BookMaker

Result: Win

Taking GONZAGA here. These two have split home and homes the last couple seasons. Listen. Normally I am a big trend and stat guy. Love my defense and rebounding clubs. Sometimes though I just think the better team wins regardless. This line is low. It screams to take St Mary's. This line opened with Mary's favored by a point and is now at 'Zaga -1. I went ML for the same 110 juice. I feel this spread is accurate though. Gaels have been a tough out for Gonzaga the last few years. This home-court is tough. Add in that the Zags are ranked as high as they are and you have a powder-keg waiting to explode with the fans and the battle for the WCC Title. Still. I think the Zags are the more complete team and have already played and lost at a similiar arena (Butler). A steal on an inbound pass with 3 seconds led to a heart-breaking 1pt loss. I can't see that happening again here. HC Mark Few will have these guys very prepared tonight. 10* GONZAGA
