Saint Mary's vs. Santa Clara: Latest betting odds for WCC men's basketball

Saint Mary's opens as a 4.5-point favorite on the road at Santa Clara

Saint Mary's goes on the road to face Santa Clara on Saturday and the Gaels have a slight edge according to the oddsmakers. 

Saint Mary's (12-6, 3-0 WCC) comes into Saturday's game tied with Sanra Clara for first place in the conference standings. The Gaels are riding a four-game winning streak that saw them pick up wins against San Diego, LMU and Portland to begin league play. They are eighth in the conference in points scored (72.2 ppg), but boast the best defense in the WCC allowing less than 60 ppg. 

Santa Clara (12-6, 3-0 WCC) enters this matchup on the heels of its biggest win of the season after knocking off No. 23 Gonzaga in a 77-76 thriller Thursday night. If they can figure out how to score on a stingy Saint Mary's defense, the Broncos could find themselves in sole possession of first place in the WCC standings.  

The Broncos hold a 140-99 advantage in the series all time, but the Gaels have won 13 of their last 16 matchups against Santa Clara.
