LAS VEGAS — In the third meeting of the season, and arguably the biggest yet, No. 19 Saint Mary’s (28-3) took care of business with another emphatic victory over No. 3 seed BYU (22-11), 81-50, to advance to tomorrow night’s WCC Championship game versus conference rival Gonzaga.
SMC led the entire game, 38:08 to be exact as the Gaels completed the wire-to-wire finish.
The first meeting in the conference tournament between the two teams, the night was one to forget for BYU, as the defeat is the first time since 2005 the Cougars lost by at least 30 points.
