Santa Clara at San Francisco

It is a good battle in the West Coast Conference tonight, as Santa Clara has won six in a row. Junior forward Elijah Mahi (13.3 ppg, 4.3 rpg), their second-leading scorer, has missed the last two games with a foot injury. They failed to cover against South Dakota and Pepperdine. Santa Clara is on a 6-7 straight-up run in its last 13 road contests. San Francisco has a terrific 3-guard attack led by Malik Thomas (18.2 ppg). The defense is holding opponents to 39.3% shooting. They've won seven of eight and play their third straight at home. San Francisco had the best home record (14-2) in the WCC last season and is 9-0 this year. The wagering value is on the home team to win the game. Play San Francisco on the moneyline.
