The Gaels have the guards and the big man to match-up very well with Baylor in this one. Omar Samhan down low is leading all scorers in the NCAA Tournament, scoring over 30 PPG on 24-32 shooting from the field. He is an unstoppable force in the paint. The Gaels are making their outside shots as well which is an excellent compliment to Samhan. St. Mary’s is shooting lights out in postseason tournament games, hitting 49% of their shots or better for four straight contests.

This is also a team that takes care of the ball behind tremendous guard play. Baylor is 6-16 ATS in their last 22 games vs. excellent ball handling teams, committing 12 or less turnovers/game. On that same line, St. Mary’s is 16-6 ATS versus poor pressure defensive teams – forcing <=14 turnovers/game this season. Baylor is not a team that forces a lot of turnovers, and St. Mary’s thrives against these teams and have all season. The Gaels are a superb 14-2 ATS in non-conference games this season. Take St. Mary’s.
