Saint Mary's vs. Gonzaga

West Coast Tournament - Semifinals - Orleans Arena - Paradise, NV

These teams have a long history of fighting it out at the top of the West Coast Conference. St. Mary's has gotten its share of wins in this series but the Gaels are a bit down this season at 14-8, while Gonzaga arguably has their best team ever. It doesn't matter when your season is on the line as it is for St. Mary's. I would expect the Gaels to come out and give Gonzaga 40 minutes of intense basketball. I don't believe they have enough to win but they certainly can get inside a very inflated number in this one. Make the play on St. Mary's.
