Gonzaga has won a record six consecutive regular-season WCC titles, surpassing the previous mark of five that was held by San Francisco (1977-81). … The Bulldogs’ Adam Morrison has scored 40 or more points five times this season and 30 or more on 12 different occasions. … Portland seniors Pooh Jeter and Darrin Cooper have emerged as the WCC’s most productive backcourt duo, having averaged a combined 33 points a game. … Saint Mary’s senior forward Daniel Kickert, the school’s all-time leading scorer with 1,820 points, was suspended from last Saturday’s non-conference game against Cal Poly for disciplinary reasons. He bounced back to score 20 points in Monday’s 81-77 win at San Diego and move into the No. 12 spot on the WCC’s career scoring list.
