Season winds down for GU as Zags chase postseason berth

BULLDOGS

The end is near for Gonzaga’s West Coast Conference season, with last night’s east win over Portland closing the home part of the schedule.

The win, coupled with Saint Mary’s defeat of USF clinched at least second in the conference for GU. About the only difference between finishing first or second in the WCC is who gets to wear white in the title game, what with the conference tournament at a pre-determined site each year.

The Zags’ win came on Senior Night, and was just what coach Mark Few was looking for, according to Steve Bergum’s story and blog post.

Saturday the Bulldogs play at USF (12:30 p.m.; KXLY-4; 1510-AM), trying to catch Santa Clara for the conference’s top spot.
