San Diego is 4-17 ATS in their last 21 games after allowing 90+ points in their previous game and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games after scoring 90+ in their previous game while the over is 5-1 in their last 6 games following a loss.

Pick

I’m backing Saint Mary’s here. The Gaels have been the best team in the WCC this season and now there’s little margin for error from the Gaels with a rematch with Gonzaga looming down the road and if everything holds to form going into that game, it’ll likely be for the WCC regulat season title. San Diego just doesn’t have it defensively and against this Gaels defense, I don’t know if the offense will have enough to keep them in it. Give me the Gaels laying the points here.
