The Waves swept the Gaels this season, beating Saint Mary’s 67-64 as an 8.5-point underdog on January 9 and then 69-63 as a 12.5-point dog on February 11. Senior forward Stacy Davis has posted five consecutive double-doubles and averaged 15 points and 9.5 rebounds in the two meetings with the Gales. If Davis plays well again tonight, Pepperdine shouldn’t have any issues covering the spread. This is a lot of points to lay in a conference title game.
