LAS VEGAS, Nev. - Streaks, streaks and more streaks. No. 2-seed Gonzaga and top-seed Saint Mary's bring extensive and impressive streaks into Tuesday night's WCC Tournament final at the Orleans Arena.
For example, it's the fourth straight year in which the Zags and Gaels have met with the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament on the line.
Gonzaga (24-8, NET: 8) and Saint Mary's (28-4, NET: 20) are assured of spots in the field of 68 that will be announced Sunday, but there's still a lot at stake Tuesday evening. The Gaels bring an eight-game winning streak into the matchup, having disposed of Pepperdine 74-59 in a semifinal Monday night, Saint Mary's ninth straight win over the Waves.
