MORAGA, Calif. -- The Saint Mary's men's basketball team enters this weekend's final games of the regular season with its championship destiny firmly within its control.
A pair of wins against longtime rivals Santa Clara and San Francisco guarantees the Gaels at least a share of its third regular season league title in the last six seasons and the top seed at next week's WCC Championships in Las Vegas.
Saint Mary's hosts the Broncos Thursday night at 8 p.m. in McKeon Pavilion in the 223rd meeting in series history. On Saturday, SMC travels across the Bay Bridge to face San Francisco in War Memorial at the Sobrato Center.
