West Coast Conference Tournament semifinals betting preview and odds

WCC Player of the Year Jock Landale had 31 points and 13 rebounds in the St. Mary's Gaels' overtime win in Provo, Utah back on December 25th.

The semifinals of the West Coast Conference Tournament are set and will tip off Monday evening at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas as the upstart San Francisco Dons take on the Gonzaga Bulldogs and the BYU Cougars will face off against the St. Mary's Gaels.

Tournament to be played at Orleans Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada.

San Francisco Dons vs. Gonzaga Bulldogs (-13, 140.5)

Seventh-ranked Gonzaga struggled to put away eighth-seeded Loyola Marymount in Saturday's quarterfinals of the West Coast Conference tournament, trailing 40-39 early in the second half and leading by just five with seven minutes to go before recording a 83-69 victory. But coach Mark Few wasn't surprised and expects another tough battle in Monday's semifinals in Las Vegas when the Bulldogs face fourth-seeded San Francisco, which edged Pacific 71-70 in overtime in the quarterfinals.

Gonzaga faces a San Francisco squad that lost by just nine points (82-73) in Spokane in the last meeting - trailing by three points with three minutes to go. The Zags bounced back from a sluggish first half that saw them score just 29 points to shoot 79.4 percent (19-of-24) from the floor after intermission and 61.2 percent for the game against Loyola Marymount in the quarterfinals. Killian Tillie led the way with 24 points and was 5-of-5 from 3-point range while senior forward Johnathan Williams, who leads the team in both scoring (13.8) and rebounding (8.1), finished with 20 points and 10 rebounds.

The Dons rode the backcourt of Jordan Ratinho and Frankie Ferrari into the semifinals as the duo combined for 37 points and made 8-of-16 from 3-point range. Ferrari, who leads the team in scoring (11.4), finished with 17 points and eight assists and hit a key 3-pointer near the end of regulation to get the Dons into overtime while Ratinho, who is third in scoring (10.8), finished with a game-high 20 points and sank a 3-pointer to start OT - a lead USF never relinquished. Freshman guard Souley Boum (11.2), who had 22 points in a 75-65 home loss to the Zags on Jan. 13, and senior forward Chase Foster (10.2) also average in double figures for the Dons.

BETTING STATS:



BETTING ACTION AND MOVEMENT:

The pointspread opened with Gonzaga installed as lofty 13-point favorites and the total set at 140.5. As of Monday morning neither number has moved despite 79 percent of the pointspread action on Covers siding with the Zags.

MATCHUP CHART:



TRENDS:

* Dons are 5-15 ATS in their last 20 games following a straight up win.
* Bulldogs are 3-11 ATS in their last 14 vs. West Coast.
* Over is 7-2 in Dons' last 9 vs. a team with a winning straight up record.
* Over is 4-0 in Bulldogs' last 4 neutral site games.
* Over is 7-2 in the last 9 meetings.




Brigham Young Cougars vs. St. Mary's Gaels (-5, 136.5)

No. 20 Saint Mary's nearly saw it's NCAA Tournament bubble burst in Saturday's West Coast Conference tournament quarterfinals in Las Vegas, needing to rally from a 15-point first half deficit to edge No. 10 seed Pepperdine 69-66. The second-seeded Gaels now move on to a semifinal matchup Monday with third-seed BYU, an 85-79 winner over San Diego, with seventh-ranked Gonzaga likely looming in Tuesday night's championship final.

BYU will be trying to snap a five-game losing streak to the Gaels, including a 74-64 overtime loss at home on Dec. 30. The Cougars will also be trying to avenge a 81-50 loss to Saint Mary's in last year's WCC Tourney semifinals. The one-two punch of junior guard Elijah Bryant (17.9 points, 6.4 rebounds) and sophomore forward Yoeli Childs (17.5, 8.7), who combined for 49 points in the quarterfinal win over San Diego, lead the Cougars with sophomore guard TJ Haws (12.0) also averaging in double figures.

Pepperdine, which finished its injury-plagued season with a measly 6-26 record, sent jaws dropping by jumping out to a 19-4 lead on the Gaels and led 62-57 with 4:17 to go. But forward Calvin Hermanson came to the rescue, sinking three consecutive 3-pointers over a two-minute span. WCC Player of the Year Jock Landale, a 6-11 senior center who is averaging a league-leading 21.3 points and 10.5 rebounds per game, presents a big problem for a lot of teams but has been especially troublesome for BYU. Landale had 31 points and 13 rebounds in the overtime win in Provo and finished with 32 points and 14 boards in a 75-62 victory over the Cougars on Jan. 25 at home.

BETTING STATS:



BETTING ACTION AND MOVEMENT:

St. Mary's opened as 5.5-point favorites Sunday evening and, despite having 77 percent of the Covers pointspread action on their side, that number was dropped to -5 on Monday morning. The total hit betting boards at 136.5 and has yet to move.

MATCHUP CHART:



TRENDS:

* Cougars are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up win.
* Gaels are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 vs. West Coast.
* Over is 6-1 in Cougars' last 7 overall.
* Under is 37-14 in Gaels' last 51 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.
* Favorite is 10-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings.

NBA | Celtics vs Bulls
Play on: Bulls +7½ -105 at 5Dimes

Free Pick on Bulls +
I'm recommending grabbing the points here with Chicago at home against the Celtics on Monday. I just feel Boston is getting way to much respect on the road given the circumstances of this game. For starters, the Celtics will be without one of the best players in the entire game in point guard Kyrie Irving. While Boston is a deep team, Irving is the guy that makes this an elite level team.
I think resting him against Chicago really speaks volumes to how little respect this Boston team has for the Bulls. I wouldn't be surprised if the guys who do suit up have a hard time bringing the kind of energy needed to basically win by double-digits on the road. Keep in mind this was already going to be a tough spot for Boston off that huge game Saturday at Houston. One in which they blew a late lead. Those heartbreaking losses in big games are difficult to bounce back from. So while some will just expect the Celtics to return their previous post-All-Star form, I think they come out flat and wouldn't be shocked if the lost this game outright.
Celtics have also struggled to cover when coming off a very high-scoring game. They are just 4-15 ATS in their last 19 after a game in which they combined for 235 or more points (combined for 243 with Houston). Boston is also just 4-14 ATS in the 2nd half of the season over the last 2 years when facing a bad team that's being outscored by 3+ points/game. Take Chicago!
