Bragging rights at stake for No. 17 Saint Mary’s, No. 23 Zags

Typically, Gonzaga sits atop the West Coast Conference standings when the regular season ends. However, for just the second time this century, Saint Mary’s won the regular-season crown in outright fashion, and there is nothing at stake when the No. 17 Gaels meet the No. 23 Bulldogs in the conference finale on Saturday night in Moraga, Calif.

No. 23 Gonzaga looks to maintain hold on Santa Clara

Gonzaga will look to continue its dominance of host Santa Clara when the two West Coast Conference programs square off on Thursday night. The No. 23 Bulldogs have won the past 26 meetings and are a sparkling 46-4 against the Broncos during Mark Few’s coaching tenure. Few has a bigger milestone in sight. A win on Thursday would represent his 700th career victory. Only legendary Adolph Rupp (700-136 in 836 games) will have reached 700
