LAS VEGAS — The No. 1 Gonzaga Bulldogs play their first game in the West Coast Conference Tournament on Monday against San Francisco. The Dons already have one win in the tournament.
Gonzaga will be looking to get back on track after ending the regular season with a loss at Saint Mary’s. Prior to the loss, the Zags had won 17 games in a row and secured the top spot in the AP Top 25 poll.
San Francisco is looking to end a long NCAA Tournament drought. The Dons, 24-8 this season, have not been to the tournament since 1998. CBS Sports currently projects San Francisco as a No. 11 seed but has them listed as on the bubble. A win against Gonzaga would almost certainly secure their spot in the tournament.
