It feels odd to say the Zags are a bubble team after all their success over the last decade.
Gonzaga is playing their best basketball of the season as they are coming off a blowout win on the road over San Francisco.

Gonzaga vs. Saint Mary's Prediction
Gonzaga needs this game way more than Saint Mary's does.
The Zags look like one of the best offenses in college basketball over the last month.
It is tough to beat a team as well-rounded as Gonzaga twice in the same season.
I will gladly take the points with the Zags tonight.
