Stephen Nover's CBB False Favorite Saturday
(NCAAB) Saint Mary's-California vs. San Francisco,
Point Spread: 3.00 | -105.00 Saint Mary's-California (Away)
Result: Win
This has been a down season for St. Mary's, but the Gaels still are playing their trademark tough defense. Only 20 teams give up fewer points per game than St. Mary's, which surrenders an average of 61.8. 
The Gaels have owned San Francisco winning eight of the last 10 meetings, including the past three. 
The buy sign is back on the Gaels after they halted a three-game losing streak with a victory against Loyola-Marymount this past Thursday. Note that two of St. Mary's losses during this span occurred to BYU and top-ranked Gonzaga. 
St. Mary's is 13-5 ATS against opponents with a winning home mark. The Dons are coming off a blowout victory against Santa Clara. They are 0-5 ATS the past five times following a win.
