Gonzaga Bulldogs

RECORD: 19-4 overall, 7-1 WCC

COMING UP: Tonight vs. Saint Mary’s, 8, ESPN2; Saturday vs. San Diego, 7

OUTLOOK: Gonzaga has won five straight over the Gaels and hasn’t lost to Saint Mary’s in Spokane since 1995. Tonight’s winner will have the inside track to the WCC title. Both teams have won 11 of 12 since a December loss – GU to Duke and Saint Mary’s to USC. The Bulldogs won the first meeting 89-82, behind Elias Harris’ 31 points, Matt Bouldin’s 22 points and Steven Gray’s 14 points, 14 rebounds and six assists. Omar Samhan (34.3 minutes), Mickey McConnell (37.8) and Matthew Dellavedova (39.0) rarely leave the court for the Gaels in WCC games. San Diego is tied for last with Santa Clara. The Toreros lost starting guard De’Jon Jackson last week to a season-ending knee injury.
