Even though Gonzaga was enjoying the night off, Saturday proved to be a significant day of contests in the WCC.
Two weeks after giving the Zags a tough game at the War Memorial gym, the San Francisco Dons suffered their second conference loss of the season to the University of San Diego and severely damaged their hopes of picking up an at-large bid for the NCAA Tournament. The Dons held a double-digit halftime lead against the Toreros, but it will be their second half performance that they’ll be thinking about on Selection Sunday if they are left out of the dance.
