There were no surprises at the 2017 West Coast Conference Tournament, as the Gonzaga Bulldogs will take on the Saint Mary’s Gaels in the championship game. The Zags have now made it to the WCC championship an astounding 20 straight times. They’ve won 15 WCC Tournaments overall, including cutting down the nets at the last four tournaments. Standing in Gonzaga’s way of a five-peat is Saint Mary’s, who won their third WCC Tournament title back in 2012.
Gonzaga is ranked #4 in the country, and they earned the #1 seed in the WCC Tournament by finishing in first place in the regular season with a 17-1 record in conference play. They didn’t have much trouble advancing to the championship game, beating #9 Pacific 82-50 in the quarterfinals and #4 Santa Clara 77-68 in the semifinals.
Saint Mary’s is ranked #19 in the country, and they locked up the #2 seed in the WCC Tournament with a 16-2 record in conference play. Both of their conference losses took place against Gonzaga, as the Bulldogs beat them 79-56 at home and 74-64 at Saint Mary’s. It’s going to be extremely tough for the Gaels to pull off the upset, but they did cruise to the WCC finals, prevailing 81-58 over #10 Portland in the quarterfinals and 81-50 over #3 BYU in the semifinals.
