I've posted my unedited game story below from Gonzaga's win over San Diego.

UPDATE: Saint Mary's defeated San Francisco 67-60 at War Memorial Gym, giving the Gaels an outright WCC title and ending Gonzaga's streak of consecutive titles at 11. Gonzaga was likely chartering back to Spokane when the SMC-USF game went final.

Gonzaga had its hands full with Bill Grier's improving San Diego squad. The Zags scored the last eight points for a 65-57 victory Saturday.

—Below, at the very bottom, I've put together a list of the WCC seeds and pairings for the tournament.

Any later and this would have been the first day after day-after post, or something like that. But we're back with a day-after BYU post and a quick look at Saturday's game against surprising San Diego.

It's a shorter-than-usual day-after post following Gonzaga’s 74-63 win over BYU last night, the main reason being there's a vast amount of information contained in the numerous articles from the game. The links: S-R game story, Blanchette column, Anderson photos (of course he got Elias Harris' one-hand jam; pictured above). Elsewhere, articles in the Salt Lake Tribune, Deseret News, A.P. and Seattle Times. Here's the rundown on seeding/tiebreakers/scenarios, etc., from the WCC office.

Read on below for more.

I'm on the road with kid duties and I've finally found a cooperative wireless network (signal strength low) so I'll put this day-after San Diego post up as quickly as I can. Wrote it about six hours ago, but haven't been able to post it. Here are the links: Game stories in S-R, San Diego Union-Tribune and S-R photos.

Read on.

Gonzaga rode the 48 combined points of 'bigs' Robert Sacre, Elias Harris and Sam Dower to a 77-60 win over San Diego on Saturday.

You can read my game story for Sunday's S-R below. I'll have a day-after post up in the morning.

Back at the hotel, rental car gas tank has been re-filled and ready for an early call tomorrow. Here's my game story from GU's 68-31 drubbing of San Diego. Saint Mary's defeated Portland so the Zags and Gaels are co-champs. Saint Mary's will be the No. 1 seed and Gonzaga the No. 2 in the WCC Tournament.

Check back tomorrow for a day-after post.

(Third attempt at posting this, first two thwarted by miserable hotel wireless….)

Good morning from rainy San Diego. The game is drawing widespread attention, including four stories alone in the San Diego Union-Tribune and the arrival of CBSsports.com's Gary Parrish, Foxsports.com's Jeff Goodman, Sportingnews.com's Mike DeCourcy and ESPN.com's Andy Katz in town.

Oh wait, that's the San Diego State-BYU game, which tips at 11 a.m. (yikes). Gonzaga-San Diego might get some added attention, if only because it tips at 6, long after the Mountain West showdown is over.

A Gonzaga win or Saint Mary's loss to Portland would clinch GU's 11th consecutive WCC crown. Here's my game preview.

This is a huge mismatch on paper. Of 17 NCAA statistical categories ranking 336 D-I teams, San Diego ranks in the upper half (top 168) in just one: 3-point percentage defense (33.4). Gonzaga is in the upper half in 13 of 17. The exceptions: 3-point percentage defense, No. 284 (36.7), turnovers per game, No. 190 (13.8), 3-pointers made per game, No. 190 (6), and personal fouls, No. 182 (19).

But the Jenny Craig Pavilion has never been an easy place to play for the Zags, much like Santa Clara's Leavey Center. GU has won three of its last four here (including a loss to USD in the 2008 WCC Tournament title game), but the Zags scored just 59, 62, 58 and 68 points in those four games.

Saint Mary's had a chance to clinch at least a share of the WCC title with a win over last-place San Diego. Instead, the Toreros snagged just their second conference win and sixth overall with a huge upset of the Gaels. Mt. Spokane and CCS product Matt Dorr had 15 points for San Diego.

Game recaps here, here and here, and an article on Gaels' coach Randy Bennett that ran in Wednesday's San Francisco Chronicle. Gaels' quotes here.

In 40 minutes, Saint Mary's seemingly went from a probable lock for the NCAAs to a team that has some work to do. The Gaels entertain Utah State in a BracketBusters game Saturday and remain home to face Gonzaga and Portland next week.

Back with my game story from GU's 86-53 win over San Diego on Saturday. Here's a link and check back Sunday morning for my day-after post.

Redshirt freshman forward Sam Dower scored a career-high 27 points as Gonzaga thumped San Diego 86-53 on Saturday at the McCarthey Athletic Center.

The victory ended a three-game losing streak for Gonzaga (14-8, 4-3). Elsewhere, Portland defeated Saint Mary's, so the Gaels (18-4, 6-1) are two games up on GU midway through the conference season. USF (4-1 WCC) faces Pepperdine at 7. Santa Clara (4-2) is leading LMU by 10 with about four minutes left.

Dower was 6 of 6 and had 12 points as Gonzaga took a 40-24 halftime lead. The Toreros (4-18, 0-7) trailed 50-33 early in the second half when Gonzaga rattled off 11 unanswered points.Steven Gray hit a pair of 3s and Dower added three free throws in the run.

Gray finished with 12 points. Marquise Carter added 10 points and four assists, Elias Harris nine points and nine rebounds and David Stockton, who started the second half in place of Demetri Goodson, chipped in nine points and four assists.

Gonzaga will try to end its three-game losing streak when San Diego visits Saturday at 5 p.m.

Here's a link to my game preview that will run in Saturday's S-R.

Back with the expanded game story from Gonzaga’s 82-65 victory over San Diego on Saturday. Read on for the unedited version and check back tomorrow for a day-after post.

Gonzaga scored the first 19 points and led by 24 midway through the first half, but San Diego made the Bulldogs work the rest of the way.

The Bulldogs saw their lead dwindle to 10 in the first half and 12 in the second before Gonzaga finished off an 82-65 victory Saturday at the McCarthey Athletic Center.

Steven Gray scored 19 points, Matt Bouldin 16 and Manny Arop 13 for the 16^th-ranked Bulldogs (21-4, 9-1). Gonzaga leads Saint Mary’s and Portland by two games in the loss column. The Gaels (21-5, 8-3) lost to Portland (16-8, 7-3) in overtime.

Brandon Johnson led USD (9-18, 2-9) with 21 points and eight rebounds.

Back with a game story in about 90 minutes.

I talked with San Diego coach Billy Grier for a few minutes about an hour ago. The former GU assistant said senior guard Brandon Johnson’s status for Saturday’s game against the Bulldogs won’t be known until tomorrow. Johnson (groin injury) didn’t play in Thursday’s loss to Portland.

Read on for a short preview of the contest that will run in Saturday’s S-R.

Back with the game story from Gonzaga’s 68-50 win over San Diego. Read on for the unedited version that will appear in Sunday’s S-R.

And check back tomorrow for a day-after post.

In workmanlike fashion, Gonzaga defeated San Diego 68-50 on Saturday at the Jenny Craig Pavilion.

The Bulldogs, who led by nine at half, stretched it to 15 early in the second before the Toreros pulled within seven. GU (14-3, 3-0 WCC) steadily pulled away and led by double digits for the last 8 minutes.

Elias Harris scored 20 points and Steven Gray added 17. Harris left the game for two minutes after taking a hard fall while pursuing an offensive rebound. He returned at the 3:45 mark and scored on GU’s next two possessions.

Demetri Goodson scored 12 points and had a team-high five assists. Rob Sacre had six points, 10 rebounds, four blocks and three assists.

De’Jon Jackson led USD with 14 points and Brandon Johnson had 13, but he made just 3 of 15 shots.

The Bulldogs made 53.2 percent fo their shots. USD shot 34.5 percent.

Check back for my game story in about two hours.

Gonzaga ran off 11 unanswered points late in the first half to take a 33-24 lead at half against San Diego.

The Bulldogs trailed 18-17, not coincidentally after allowing USD two offensive rebounds that led to De’Jon Jackson’s basket with 7:30 left. That was USD’s seventh offensive board to that point, but the Bulldogs kept the Bulldogs off the glass and scoreboard until Roberto Mafra’s putback with 1:30 left. By then, Gonzaga had taken a 10-point lead.

Elias Harris (11 points) and Demetri Goodson (10) fueled the Zags’ offense. The two also combined for five of Gonzaga’s nine assists.GU made 13 of 23 shots (56.5 percent), including 3 of 4 3-pointers. The Bulldogs were highly efficient when they weren’t committing turnovers — seven in the half.

Jackson led USD with eight points. The Toreros made just 11 of 30 shots (36.7 percent).

(Strange to see the Jenny Craig Pavilion with so many empty seats, but it’s probably twice as full compared to the 2,553 that watched San Diego lose to Portland on Thursday. The students don’t return to classes until Jan. 25th).

Back with an update at the final buzzer.

Back with the game story from Gonzaga’s hard-fought 66-55 victory over San Diego in the WCC women’s tournament championship game. The unedited version is below.

Gonzaga put five players in double figures, including reserve forward Kelly Bowen’s 15 points and a double-double by conference player of the year Courtney Vandersloot, to outlast sixth-seeded San Diego 66-55 and win the WCC Tournament championship Monday.

The Bulldogs added the tournament title to their regular-season crown. They’ll be making their second trip to the NCAA Tournament in three years.

Heather Bowman scored a team-high 16 points, Janelle Bekkering 14, Vivian Frieson 11 and Vandersloot 10. Vandersloot also had 10 assists.

More later.

The Gonzaga women shot just 38 percent, but the Bulldogs used a 7-0 run in the closing minutes to take a 32-28 halftime lead over San Diego in the WCC Tournament championship on Monday at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas.

Courtney Vandersloot and Heather Bowman each had eight points and backup forward Kelly Bowen added seven points and four boards. Five of Bowen’s points came in the 7-0 run.

San Diego was led by Kiva Herman’s 11 points. The sixth-seeded Toreros made 41.4 percent from the floor.

More later.
