St. Mary’s vs Washington State Prediction
The Washington State Cougars are getting killed defensively during this losing stretch, where they’ve lost seven of their last 10 games. Washington State is also 3-7 ATS during those games. I doubt things improve against a balanced Saint Mary’s squad that beat Washington State by five points on the road a couple of weeks ago. The Saint Mary’s Gaels look like a legit contender in the WCC, and they’ve covered seven of their last 10 games. Washington State is 2-4 ATS in its last six games as a double-digit underdog. This game shouldn’t be close. Give me Saint Mary’s in a home beat down.
