WCC Championship Betting Odds: Will Saint Mary's 'Upset' Gonzaga?

Gonzaga Saint Mary's Odds

Among Tuesday's college basketball odds, No. 19 Saint Mary's (28-4, 17-1) squares off against Gonzaga (24-8, 14-4) in the WCC Championship game at Orleans Arena in Las Vegas. Although the Gaels swept the regular-season series, the Bulldogs are Gonzaga Bulldogs -3.5 (-115) on Fliff favorites after opening -2.5. Let's dive into the odds and my picks for Gonzaga vs. Saint Mary's, including potential same-game parlay options.

College Basketball Best bets: Gonzaga or saint mary's ats?

Given the Gaels' success against the Bulldogs in recent weeks, this point spread may seem off. However, the betting market has power-rated Gonzaga highly throughout the campaign. For instance, I wouldn't be shocked if Mark Few's crew was priced near a pick'em against Big Ten champion Michigan State in an NCAA tournament game.

While the Zags failed to cover in their win over San Francisco in the WCC semifinals, they overcame a 23.5% clip from behind the arc. Evidently, the market expects them to bounce back offensively. Conversely, the Gaels built a 28-point second-half lead versus Pepperdine on Monday, only to allow the Waves to backdoor the 19.5-point spread.

Not only will Gonzaga need a more efficient shooting night to earn its first conference tournament championship since 2022, but it must also govern the rebounding battle. Mitchell Saxen and Co. collected 15 offensive rebounds per contest in their two regular-season meetings, mitigating its scoring woes when Few shifted to a zone defense.

The Gaels have manufactured a top-10 rebounding rate at both ends, allowing them to dictate the pace via the sixth-slowest adjusted tempo. Moreover, Randy Bennett's patented ball-screen sets should continue to exploit the Zags' vulnerable interior, which grades in the 37th percentile of opponents' at-the-rim efficiency (via CBB Analytics).

Final Betting Thoughts

On paper, the underdog Gaels are constructed to upset the Zags again. Nevertheless, bettors who believe Gonzaga will finally match the market's expectations will continue to play the favorite.
