Saint Mary’s has shown they can completely dominate the mid and lower tier teams in the WCC, but the Gaels have also had their share of competitive contests on their way to standing 23-2 overall and 12-0 in conference. Saint Mary’s has strengths on both sides of the ball ranking 63rd in the nation in scoring and 19th in total defense with a positive plus/minus of about +15 points. We faded Saint Mary’s in their last outing on the road against a strong defensive San Diego squad, but feel the Gaels have a much better shot today against the defensively challenged Lions.
Loyola Marymount has faded into the basement of the WCC now standing 7-16 overall and just 2-10 in conference. The Lions were throttled on the road against Saint Mary’s earlier in league play losing to the Gaels by a final of 59-87. The Lions have lacked an identity this year ranking 199th in the nation in scoring and 286th in total defense. LMU had a frustrating finish in their last outing falling to Portland on the road by a final of 66-68.
Saint Mary’s has already blown out the Lions this season and the Gaels should be invigorated to come out firing today coming off the competitive game in their last outing. We like Saint Mary’s to get the job done as they go on to win and cover this sizeable spread on the road.

Loyola Marymount have fallen quite a bit since their glory days way back when. Saint Marys will pound the ball inside and open up some easy 3s against the matador defense of Marymount. Saint Marys by 19
That's a lot of points and for a road team too -- the Gaels sit on top of the West Coast Conference undefeated in Conference play and just 2 losses overall 23-2 ---- Loyola Marymount please Pepperdine is in the Conference without them Loyola would be at the bottom of the Conference --- I'll give up the points to the home Lions -- Saint Mary's on the win by 17+
agree with julole and texasholdem
