What to Know

The #22 Saint Mary's Gaels haven't won a game against the #2 Gonzaga Bulldogs since March 12 of 2019, but they'll be looking to end the drought this past Saturday. The Gaels and Gonzaga will face off in a West Coast battle at 10 p.m. ET at McCarthey Athletic Center. After both teams made easy work of their previous opponents, one of them is set up to suffer a discouraging change of fortune.

Saint Mary's took their matchup against the San Diego Toreros this past Thursday by a conclusive 86-57 score. Saint Mary's' guard Logan Johnson was one of the most active players for the team, picking up 16 points in addition to nine rebounds and five steals.

Meanwhile, everything came up roses for Gonzaga at home against the Pacific Tigers this past Thursday as the squad secured an 89-51 victory. Gonzaga's guard Rasir Bolton looked sharp as he had 20 points.

Saint Mary's is the clear underdog, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. Those betting on them against the spread shouldn't have high expectations for them since the squad is 0-2 ATS when expected to lose.

Their wins bumped the Gaels to 20-5 and the Bulldogs to 20-2. Both Saint Mary's and Gonzaga have easy wins in recent memory. We'll see which one's ego takes a hit when they face off.
