Portland at Saint Mary's

I had a feeling that this line was going to be packed in favor of St. Mary's. The Gaels are off one of the best defensive performances, if not the best, in school history. The Gaels went to San Diego and came away with a smothering 71-27 victory, holding the Torreros to 19.6% shooting from the field, and winning off the glass by 20. It certainly will make Portland a tough take for most as the Pilots have just nine wins on the season. Worse than that, the Pilots have dropped 10 straight. Hidden in those numbers is the fact that they have covered their last two as a double-digit dog, one of which was done at #1 Gonzaga. This one looks ugly, but the Gael's are overpriced here, so play on Portland.
