byu +10: this line has fallen from +11, so right now the cougars are a public dog, but i'm going to go ahead and put this one in now. this is a huge look-past game for st marys. gaels have their conference opener at home on thursday vs portland, and then turn around and host gonzaga on saturday in a matchup of the top two wcc teams. this game will be televised nationally on espn and st. marys announced yesterday that the game was already a sellout.
meanwhile, byu is quietly recovering from early season injuries and playing some solid ball. in their last three games, all wins, cougars have shot over 50% from the field and the three point line, and went on a streak of 24 straight free throws. in the same three games, they registered an average of 7.3 assists per game versus only 10.7 turnovers.
if i were the gaels' coach, my focus would be on the two impending conference games and not this meaningless matchup with byu. as good a spot as any to try a dd dog.
