LAS VEGAS — It will be a Top 25 matchup for the West Coast Conference Tournament Championship as the Gonzaga Bulldogs and Saint Mary's Gaels meet on Tuesday night.
Gonzaga shared the regular season WCC championship with Saint Mary's after the two teams each finished 14-2 in conference play. However, the Zags ended up with the No. 2 seed in the conference tournament because the Gaels had a higher NET ranking.
The teams split their regular season meetings. Saint Mary's won at home in overtime in February. Since then, Gonzaga has won eight straight games, including a victory over the Gaels a week and a half ago.
Both teams could improve their seeding in the NCAA Tournament with a win. ESPN projects Gonzaga as a No. 3 seed, but there is talk that the Zags could jump up to a No. 2 seed by Selection Sunday. Saint Mary's is currently a No. 5 seed, according to ESPN.
