Gonzaga is a two-game road trip away from yet another West Coast Conference regular-season title.
But it will be a tricky one.
On Thursday, the No. 6 Zags play at defensive-minded San Diego before traveling to face BYU in the regular-season finale.
Gonzaga (25-4, 15-1 WCC) holds a one-game lead over Saint Mary's, which hosts Pepperdine on Thursday and plays at Santa Clara on Saturday.
When the Bulldogs beat San Diego 69-59 on Feb. 1 in Spokane, Wash., they closed the game with a 13-5 run after the Toreros got within two.
Closing out games late has become a theme for Gonzaga over the past month.
