West Coast Conference Championship Game #21 Gaels vs Bulldogs<\/h2>\n

I am sure that the St. Mary\u2019s Gaels were hoping to face anybody other than Gonzaga in the finals of the West Coast Conference Tournament. <\/p>\n

Matchup<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Preview<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

St. Mary\u2019s<\/h3>\n

I think their place in March Madness is probably secure, but if not, \u00a0they will now have to beat their nemesis in Gonzaga, a team that has eliminated them from the conference tourney two of the past three seasons. \u00a0This could be one of the most entertaining conference tourney games we will see all week. \u00a0Should be.<\/p>\n

The Gaels are a very good team. \u00a0They rank in the top 55 in both scoring and points allowed and have a heady point guard who makes big shots in Matthew Dellavedova.<\/p>\n

He and shortish power forward Rob Jones form a nice inside\/outside duo with Jones averaging 14 and 10.<\/p>\n

Both have lots of experience but they don\u2019t really scare you the way that other players do. \u00a0It seems like the Gaels always come up short when it matters the most doesn\u2019t it.<\/p>\n

This team hasn\u2019t been the same since a surprise loss to Loyola Marymount.\u00a0[soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n

Gonzaga<\/h3>\n

It looks like the Zags might be doing it again. \u00a0I think it is fair to say that this team has been a little disappointing during the regular season but as we head to the conference championship game tonight they just might be figuring out how to play best with each other.<\/p>\n

Mark Few appears to be doing another masterful job blending together players of all different experience levels and this team appears poised to bust some brackets this month.<\/p>\n

Before the season started I thought guard Kevin Pangos would be a nice addition to the Bulldogs but over the course of the year the freshman has proven to be their most important player, leading the team in scoring and nearly single handedly downing BYU in the semi-finals.<\/p>\n

For this team to really wreak havoc he needs support from the experienced front court players. \u00a0Hopefully seeing the Gaels in front of them will wake up Elias Harris and Robery Sacre who have been having sleepy seasons.<\/p>\n

Spread Pick: \u00a0Gonzaga _2.5<\/strong>
\n O\/U Pick: \u00a0Over<\/strong>
\n Score Prediction: \u00a0Gonzaga 81 – St. Mary\u2019s 74<\/strong><\/p>\n
