Game Preview

No. 17 Saint Mary’s typically isn’t the No. 1 seed in the West Coast Conference tournament due to Gonzaga’s longstanding league domination.

But the Gaels own the top spot this season for the first time since 2016 and they open play Monday night with a semifinal clash against fifth-seeded BYU in Las Vegas.

Saint Mary (25-6, 14-2) and Gonzaga split their two regular-season meetings but the Gaels earned the top seed due to being higher in the NCAA’s NET rankings. At that time, Saint Mary’s was No. 7 and Gonzaga was No. 9.
