San Francisco vs Saint Mary’s Game Preview
Why San Francisco Will Win
The Dons have been terrific over the last three games.
The offense has hit everything from the outside, the defense is forcing turnovers, and the three-game winning streak has been a nice spark just when it seemed like the season was sliding into the abyss.

Saint Mary’s is terrific at getting out to guard from the outside and it’s among the teams in the country at keeping scores low.

One of those was a 78-61 loss at home to Saint Mary’s a few weeks ago. Don’t expect fireworks.
