Gonzaga advances to WCC tournament championship game for 21st consecutive season

LAS VEGAS — Top-seeded Gonzaga made sure early on that there was no doubt about advancing to the West Coast Conference tournament championship game.

As if there were any doubt at all.

The Zags jumped out to a 23-point first-half lead against No. 4 seed San Francisco Monday night and cruised to a dominating 88-60 victory at Orleans Arena.

The Zags will be playing in their 21st consecutive WCC tournament title game Tuesday night against the winner of the other semifinal matchup — No. 2 Saint Mary’s and No. 3 BYU.

“That’s an unbelievable streak we have going,” said Gonzaga coach Mark Few.
