Around 1 a.m. ET, in the wee hours of Sunday morning, two storylines were emerging out of Moraga, California: Saint Mary's was officially poised to end Gonzaga's reign atop the West Coast Conference, and Aidan Mahaney was ready to become a national name.

Saint Mary's came back in the final minutes to defeat Gonzaga in overtime, moving to 10-0 in the WCC -- and taking a two-game lead on the Bulldogs in the league standings. There's still plenty to play out in the final six games of 2022-23, but Gonzaga's 10-year run with at least a share of the regular-season title is in serious danger.
