There was supposed to be a change this season at the top of the West Coast Conference.
Perennial stalwart Gonzaga lost four major pieces from last year's Final Four squad and its main rival, Saint Mary's, returned four starters, including budding star Jock Landale.
In November, the Gaels were a unanimous choice to win the conference.
Three-plus months later? The more things stay the same.
The No. 6 Zags (26-4, 16-1 WCC) are a win away from their 15th outright conference title since 1998. They take on BYU on Saturday night in Provo, Utah.
