The WCC regular season is hitting the home stretch, as only two weeks remain (4 games) before the conference tournament starts. If St Mary’s and Gonzaga both win out, the 1 seed in the conference tournament would be decided by RPI. The Gaels have a slight edge right now (29 to 37), but a road win for Gonzaga over BYU in the regular season finale may be enough to push them over the top.
Here is how each team fared, starting from the top down in conference standings:
Saint Mary’s (13-1, 24-3)
Thursday: W at LMU, 83-62
Saturday: L vs Gonzaga, 65-78
KenPom Ranking: 17
After winning 19 games in a row, including beating Gonzaga at The Kennel, St Mary’s was outmatched from start to finish by Gonzaga in Moraga.
