BGOC: No. 3 Gonzaga at St. Mary’s
This is the battle between number one and two in the West Coast Conference, Gonzaga and St. Mary’s. Earlier this season Gonzaga dominated St. Mary’s, 68-47.
The Bulldogs of Gonzaga are ranked No. 3 in the nation and not looking to tarnish their record this season. St. Mary’s, on the other hand, has nothing to lose and hopes to derail the Bulldogs and make a late run in the WCC. Tip-off is at 10 p.m. ET tonight.
