Utah at Saint Mary's picks and predictions
Prediction
Saint Mary's 71, Utah 61
Moneyline
PASS.
At -210 home favorites, there is no money betting on a streaky Saint Mary's squad.
Against the spread
BET SAINT MARY'S -4.5 (-110).
While Saint Mary's is fresh off a 3-game skid, it seemed to put all the pieces together in its dominant win over Davidson. Two of its 3 losses were on the road and the Gaels are 3-1 at home this season.
Utah had a disappointing end in its appearance in the Shriners Children's Charleston Classic, losing back-to-back games. Playing on the road on Monday night as an underdog, it should not be expected to cover the spread.

Over/Under
LEAN UNDER 134.5 (-110).
Saint Mary's has gone Under the 134 mark in 3 of its 4 home games and prior to its 89-55 win on Friday, it had not scored more than 57 points in its previous 3 games. Utah's offense was carried by its starters in its loss against St John's, something that sets the tone for the Under against a solid Gaels team.
