Gonzaga’s upcoming game against Saint Mary’s might be one of the biggest ones in the history of the growing rivalry. Year in and year out, you can pretty much say the same thing about each game played between the two team’s, but this year there is a special extra bit of flavor.
For just the third time in recent history, Saint Mary’s will be ranked when they play Gonzaga. This seems a bit far fetched, especially considering Saint Mary’s recent success, but the Gaels have often spent times just collecting votes. Or, they are like the Zags—a couple of bad losses and you plummet out for good.
