The Tigers are 21-8-1 ATS in their last 30 Thursday games and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The Gaels are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 Thursday games. The over is 4-1 in Tigers last 5 overall. The under is 5-1 in Gaels last 6 home games. The underdog is 8-1-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings.
The Saint Mary’s Gaels are the more talented team and should win, but they’re not playing great basketball right now and haven’t had a ton of success against the spread lately. The Pacific Tigers are winning their last five games by an average of 5.4 points while shooting 50.7 percent from the field. Pacific also only loses on the road by an average of 3.4 points. I’ll take my chances with Pacific and the points.
