Gonzaga tops Santa Clara to claim WCC title for last time

On Tuesday Gonzaga Bulldogs defeated Santa Clara Broncos 79-68 at Orleans Arena to win the final WCC championship as a member of the conference.
After trailing at the half, Gonzaga adjusted following Santa Clara's 9-1 start, which pressured the Zags early, forcing a comeback.
Mario Saint-Supery led the way with a season-high 21 points, while Grant-Foster scored 20 and Ike added 15 on perfect shooting as Gonzaga shot 52.8% from the field.
The victory secured Gonzaga's ninth 30-win season and their 28th consecutive NCAA Tournament berth; seed and site will be announced Sunday.
A late 18-of-25 stretch, fueled by defensive stops, ignited transition offense, with Gonzaga outscoring Santa Clara 50 in the second half and finishing with a 27-0 fastbreak advantage.
