Gonzaga upset by St. Mary’s: Will it open up a 1 seed?

Perhaps the biggest upset in the 2019 conference tournament season just took place.

St. Mary’s just stunned the top-ranked Gonzaga Bulldogs to win the West Coast Conference. But more importantly, the Zags are now in danger of losing their 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.

After all, losing to a 22-11 Gaels team should make it a much tighter race for Gonzaga to hold off teams like the Kentucky Wildcats, North Carolina Tar Heels, Duke Blue Devils and Tennessee Volunteers for a 1 seed. Those aforementioned teams have played a far more daunting schedule, have more Quadrant I wins, and already strongly in the mix for a 1 seed.
