Gonzaga is going to the NCAA Tournament for the 13th straight season. The second-seeded Bulldogs broke from a 53-tie with an eight-point spurt, then added another 6-0 run to finish off a 75-63 victory over top-seeded Saint Mary’s in the WCC Tournament championship game Monday at the Orleans Arena. Gonzaga (24-9) earns the conference’s automatic bid and will learn its first-round assignment Sunday. Saint Mary’s (24-8), which defeated Gonzaga in last year’s title game, will have to wait until Selection Sunday to find out if its makes the NCAA field. Sam Dower’s basket started GU’s 8-0 run and Steven Gray finished it with a pair of free throws, giving Gonzaga its biggest lead, 61-53/Jim Meehan, SR. More here. And boxscore.
Question: Anyone out there who still doesn't think Mark Few can coach?
