The Gonzaga Bulldogs will open their WCC Tournament run Monday night when they take on San Francisco in Las Vegas. The sixth seeded Dons have already won a pair of games just to get this far, defeating Pacific 80-63 on Friday and edging out #3 Santa Clara 93-87 last night.
The Zags enter Orleans Arena as the second seed despite a regular season co-championship, but will still look to qualify for the title game for the 26th (!!) consecutive season. If you think this is an insane stat, you’re right; the writer of this blog was not yet born when it started.
