Game Preview
The Saint Mary’s Gaels are comfortably sitting at #15 in the country after taking the West Coast Conference by storm and beating Gonzaga last Saturday. As for the Lions, they have lost 2 consecutive matches in conference play, most recently versus San Diego, 87-79. Their leading scorer, Cam Shelton, managed to grab 25 points in the tough loss.
Key players for the Gaels include Maheny who is averaging 15.0 points a game and taking the playmaking responsibilities for Saint Mary. In the recent game against Gonzaga he came in right behind Shelton with 18 total points. With him as their play catalyst, the team is placed 37th in offensive efficiency, however they only average 71.6 points a game thanks to their incredibly slow possession game which ranks them 345th in that statistic.
It is rather weird to see slow playing teams in the NCAA be favorites going to the matchup, but you can’t deny the Gaels’ efficiency with less overall possessions. On top of that, Saint Mary’s is ranked 5th in defensive efficiency and they will dominate that side of the floor this time around.
As for LMU, this will be a tough mountain to climb offensively, as they are placed 93rd in offensive efficiency while going against a squad that allows just 57.7 points per bout.
Let’s check the latest picks, NCAAB news, stats and NCAAB expert picks for Saint Mary’s vs LMU. We’ve plenty of NCAAB predictions for you to consider.
Opponents are averaging just 40% from the field against Saint Mary’s, with Shelton being the main man taking advantage of defensive rebounds down the floor. Overall LMU is not in a great spot as seen by our report mentioned above, being an offense lacking team plus going against one of the better defensive setups in the country will most likely have a single outcome.
Thus this time around we give the upper hand to the Saint Mary’s Gaels.
