The more things change, the more they stay the same. And so it goes for the WCC as the Gonzaga Bulldogs take another WCC Tournament Championship back to Spokane after holding off Saint Mary’s 82-69.
Two in the row against Gonzaga was not in the cards for the Gaels, but they certainly made their counterparts work hard for the right to cut down the nets in the Orleans Arena. It was a respectable effort from a Saint Mary’s squad that looks capable of making it out of the opening weekend of the NCAA Tournament, while the Zags got the test their coaches were likely hoping for as they make their final preparations for dancing season.
