West Coast Conference play culminated on Saturday in exciting fashion. Even though they lost by nine, the Saint Mary's Gaels held onto the No. 1 seed as co-champions with Gonzaga. The criteria came down to the higher NET rank, which was the Gaels.
Typically, this conference tournament is pretty much a runaway between Saint Mary's and Gonzaga. They both have the week off until next Monday, when they will compete against TBD opponents in the semifinals.
Santa Clara can shoot the 3 — especially with Brandin Podziemski — so the Broncos are an interesting upset candidate.
In addition, Loyola Marymount already beat Saint Mary's and Gonzaga, so it could have some value at the right price.
