Gonzaga surged out to a 9-0 lead less than three minutes into the match against San Francisco and led by 20 at halftime.

The Bulldogs became complacent in the second half, enabling the Dons to close to within eight points with 1:31 remaining before winning.

Gonzaga made 58.2 percent of their shots from the field, including three of thirteen from three-point range, and forced 13 turnovers, thanks in part to San Francisco’s 38.1 percent shooting. Drew Timme scored 22 points to lead the Bulldogs to victory.

#17 Saint Mary’s Gaels vs #1 Gonzaga Bulldogs. The NCAAB pick for this game is the #1 Gonzaga Bulldogs. Saint Mary’s had to hold on for dear life to get here, but they were able to hold off Santa Clara.

If the Gaels are going to beat the #1 team in the country, they can’t afford to have lapses as they had in the closing 10 minutes of the game. Last week, we watched Saint Mary’s put up a strong display in their win over the Bulldogs, although that match was played in Moraga.

It’s challenging to beat the Bulldogs on your court, doing it in Spokane or on a neutral court is much harder. Gonzaga dominated the second half with a comfortable lead against the Dons.

The Bulldogs take care of business and avenge their defeat from last week to win the WCC Tournament. The #1 Gonzaga Bulldogs will win to a predicted score of 77-68.
