MORAGA, Calif. — Another dominant win over its rival Thursday brought the Saint Mary’s men’s basketball team one game closer to winning the 2016 West Coast Conference title, as the Gaels defeated Santa Clara 75-50 behind 24 points from Emmett Naar at McKeon Pavilion.
With the victory, Saint Mary’s (23-4, 14-3 WCC) has a chance to win no less than a share of, if not win outright, the WCC regular season title Saturday when it travels to face Bay Area rival San Francisco in The City at 8 p.m. Saturday’s game will be televised live on Comcast Sports Net California.
