The Gonzaga Bulldogs seek their 12th West Coast Conference tournament crown in 14 years when the Zags face the Santa Clara Broncos in the championship game tonight.
The Broncos pulled off the upset over Saint Mary’s on Monday and likely clinched a spot in the Big Dance.
Find out why they might make a push to qualify automatically in my Gonzaga vs. Santa Clara predictions and college basketball picks for March 10.
Santa Clara vs Gonzaga prediction
Santa Clara vs Gonzaga best bet
Santa Clara vs Gonzaga best bet: Santa Clara +6.5 (-105)
Gonzaga beat Santa Clara by at least eight points in their two regular-season meetings, but I like the Broncos to keep it closer against a Zags team ranked 329th in 3-point accuracy since February 1.
Santa Clara has been firing away from deep, connecting with frequent success. The Broncos are 26 of 61 from deep in the WCC Tournament, winning outright last night as 4.5-point dogs.
Gonzaga won comfortably, but made just 47% of its shots from the floor vs. Oregon State. Santa Clara will be a much tougher test defensively.

While both regular-season contests went past this mark, I’m expecting a lower-scoring game tonight.
The Broncos have played at a slower pace recently, which has led to the Under hitting in three of the last four games.
As for the Zags, the Under has cashed in five straight and seven of the last eight as they’ve shot just 28.5% from downtown in that span.
