00:00Santa Clara's going to take on St. Mary's, usually top-heavy in the WCC.
00:03But tonight's game should be a lot of fun to watch it play out.
00:06This start, 11.30 p.m. Eastern, Joe.
00:09Night Owls, you're getting your basketball fix at this time of year.
00:12St. Mary's to win this game outright, Joe, trading at a 62% clip as a chance.
00:17And Santa Clara, 38%.
00:19But if we look at the side itself, a 3.5-point favorite for St. Mary's, Joe, that's 56%.
00:24So if you feel they're going to win that game by four points,
00:27a $100 investment would pay back $179.
00:30St. Mary's, Santa Clara, good one on the West Coast here.
00:33Well, it is, Donnie, and it's one that St. Mary's ended up winning last month there
00:40when they battled here.
00:42Great win last night over Pacific, 76-68,
00:46a game in which they didn't really have to exert themselves all that much here.
00:50This is one of the better offenses we know here in the West Coast Conference.
00:57But they've got to be careful, St. Mary's, here.
00:59They are 27-4 overall.
01:02They're 16-2 in conference play.
01:05They have been an absolute machine.
01:07They know what's waiting for them on the other side.
01:09And, of course, that is going to be the Zags,
01:12who don't have a very tough matchup coming up here,
01:15as they're an 18-and-a-half-point favorite.
01:17But I think St. Mary's handles business again here.
01:21They have been there.
01:21They have done that.
01:22I would love to see Santa Clara, give it a run.
01:25But I do think that St. Mary's knows how to win these games
01:29and knows how to beat Santa Clara.
01:31And don't be shocked if this game goes over the total.
01:34This isn't the St. Mary's of old,
01:36where defensively you first won the 60 wins.
01:40There might be a few more points in this game than you expect.
