This is a 7* play on the St. Mary's Gaels.

St. Mary's started last season winning six straight, and all six of those wins came in games decided by double digits. The Gaels return all five starters from last season's team that ranked #1 nationally in field goal percentage. They head into their season opener ranked in the Top 25 for the first time in school history, and they host a solid Nevada team. The Wolfpack are also coming off a successful season, winning the CBI Tournament, finishing with an overall record of 24-14. They played a much softer schedule than St. Mary's, and when they faced the tougher teams things didn't go well. They lost five of their first six road games, including blowout losses at Wichita State and New Mexico. The home team has covered the spread in four straight meetings between these two teams, and that's a trend that should continue here on Opening Night.

Take SMC.
