Total: Over / Under 128
The Pick: BYU +10.
Too many points. Each of the last 9 meetings between these two were decided by single digits. In fact, St. Mary’s just hit a game winning shot with 2 seconds remaining to beat BYU on January 28th. BYU also lost by 7 @ Gonzaga on the 11th. It was a 3-point game with under 40 seconds to game. They also lost to Gonzaga at home by 1 point, the Zags hit the go ahead 3 with 9 seconds to go. The Gaels sit atop a weak West Coast conference, but that doesn’t say too much. They beat an 11-16 San Diego team in the midst of a 3-8 run by just 3 points their last time out. And 5 of their L6 games were decided by single digits. The Underdog is also 7-2 ATS L9 times these two have met. Back the Cougars to keep it tight.
