Watch: ESPNU, WatchESPN.com
Outlook: Something has to give in this showdown for first place. Gonzaga’s 13-game road winning streak is the longest in the NCAA; Saint Mary’s is 13-0 at home this season. The Zags lead the WCC in scoring offense; the Gaels lead in scoring defense. The Zags are second in the conference in scoring defense, the Gaels are No. 1 nationally in field-goal percentage and assist-to-turnover ratio. Gonzaga has won the last eight in the series, including three in a row at McKeon Pavilion. The Gaels boast four players averaging double figures and four more scoring at least 5.8 points. - Jim Meehan
