Saint Mary’s Gaels
The top two seeds in the regular season get byes all the way to the semifinals of the West Coast Conference Tournament so it’s really no surprise we have another championship game between Gonzaga and Saint Mary’s.
Neither team even had to play a 3, 4, 5, or 6-seed. Gonzaga got the 8-seeded Pepperdine Waves and SMC beat 7-seeded San Diego. The Gaels only got by with a seven-point win, though.

Saint Mary’s has long been an underdog to Gonzaga on an annual basis but it’s more extreme this season. Gonzaga beat Saint Mary’s by 48 points in their only matchup this season. It was in Spokane but 48 points is 48 points.
As is usually the case, too, Saint Mary’s will be on the bubble if it loses this game, most likely on the wrong side, though. Joe Lunardi has it last on his “Next Four Out” list, which means there are at least about seven teams for it to pass to get in without an automatic bid. You can rule out that possibility if it loses tonight.
Gonzaga Bulldogs
Gonzaga has wrapped up four undefeated seasons in the West Coast Conference since 2003-2004. This would be the fifth and its first 18–0 season, including the tournament.
By most accounts, this has been Gonzaga’s finest season, perhaps with exception to 2016-2017, when it lost in the National Championship (which was just it’s second loss all year).

Gonzaga doesn’t need Killian Tillie to beat Saint Mary’s but it might need him to win it all. Well, he came back against Pepperdine, coming into the game five minutes after tip and immediately drilling two 3-pointers.
He hit a third triple later in the first half and added three boards. Check up on what the word is on his plantar fasciitis is feeling before this game and after to get an idea of how much of a threat he’ll be when Gonzaga begins its Big Dance as a 1-seed.
