The day is finally here. The Saint Mary’s Gaels and the Gonzaga Bulldogs face off in their first of two high-profile West Coast Conference games. The Gaels are a top-25 team, but the Zags are a top-5 team.
The Zags are coming off a complete win over LMU, where six different players scored in double figures. The Lions hung with the Zags for the first 10 minutes, but after that, it was all Gonzaga in a rather listless MAC.
Saint Mary’s absolutely obliterated Portland, 74-33, on Thursday. Calvin Hermanson led all scorers with 27 points and the Saint Mary’s defense absolutely smothered Portland, only allowing 0.
