Gonzaga vs. Saint Mary’s CBB Prediction:
Gonzaga looks for their eighth consecutive win, while Saint Mary’s has won sixteen games in a row.
Take the over. Both teams are playing at an extremely high level. The Zags like to push the pace, while Saint Mary’s is one of the slowest teams in the country. One thing both teams have in common is they both shoot a high percentage from the field with both teams shooting nearly 50%. In a big game, the best players usually show out offensively and I expect that to be the case on Saturday. Give me the over.
