The Saint Mary's Gaels lost at home to Gonzaga by a score of 68-47 on Thursday, but I like theirs chances of bouncing back tonight with a road win over Portland. The Pilots are coming off a home win over Pacific, but they had lost three in a row prior to that.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - The Gaels have won seven straight in this series, covering the spread in five of those games.

2. Conference Play - The Gaels are are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 vs. West Coast.

3. X-Factor - Saint Mary's is 5-1 ATS in it's last 6 road games.

Selection: This is a play on the Saint Mary's Gaels (8*)
