Gaels freshman Aidan Mahaney was coming off the bench until Dec. 7 versus Missouri State. Saint Mary's is 19-2 since that point, including an overtime win over Gonzaga. The Gaels allow a league-low 40.3 percent from the field, including 32.1 percent from deep. The Bulldogs have won five straight and may very well exact their revenge, but this is too many points.

The first match between these two teams was an absolute thriller. Now we get the rematch where both teams have been playing very well of late. Gonzaga does have the revenge factor here and have been averaging 100.7 points over their last three games. The Bulldogs are shooting 62.9 percent effectively during that time as well. St. Mary's has also been efficient but on the road their only their shooting 49.6 percent from the floor and rely heavily on the three. Gonzaga's guard play has been great and the home crowd will be ready for this one. I'm on Gonzaga.
