Saint Mary’s ends GU’s conference streak
GAELS, 80-75
The streak is over, thanks to GU loss Monday night in Moraga, Calif. For the first time in 26 regular season games and 30 overall, Gonzaga has lost to a West Coast Conference opponent.
And it is in second place in the conference.
The Zags' 3-1 conference mark puts them a half-game behind San Francisco (3-0), which won 72-71 at Pepperdine.

In it I mentioned Omar Samhan's outstanding offensive game - a career-high 20 points for the freshman - and his offensive mouth - with 4:36 left the ESPN cameras caught him shouting an obscene phrase at the Gonzaga bench (I ran it three times to make sure I saw what I saw).
So what did you see, other than Samhan's filthy mouth? Was this a case of Saint Mary's just having a great second half and GU a cold-shooting night? Or was it something else? Go ahead and click in with your thoughts here or on Steve Bergum's Gonzaga blog.
