Saint Mary's won and covered both meetings this season, including 70-57 on Feb. 18 when the Gaels held BYU to just a .397 field goal percentage and four of 14 from three-point range. Saint Mary's is 27-3 and 15-10-2 ATS and has won its last five games (4-0-1 ATS), including Saturday's 81-58 blowout over Portland covering by a half-point. The Gaels shot 56.9 percent and Calvin Hermanson scored a team-leading 21 points against the Pilots, who were held to 38.2 percent shooting. BYU had its big win over Gonzaga, but the Cougars are just 12-15-2 ATS on the season and they have covered the number only three times their last 10 games overall. Eric Mika led the Cougars with 25 points in their win over Loyola Marymount on Saturday. BYU is 2-8-2 ATS after a win and a miserable 4-25 ATS its last 29 games as an underdog at neutral sites. Play Saint Mary's.
