West Coast Conference Winner 

Gonzaga: The Zags went 16-0 in the regular. The Bulldogs only need to win two games to be the WCC champ. 

West Coast Conference Runner Up

BYU: The Cougars haven't beat Saint Mary's this season, but maybe Vegas will be the place they get a win vs. the Gaels. 

West Coast Conference Sleeper Team 

Santa Clara: Saint Mary's seems likely here, but they wouldn't be a sleeper team. Santa Clara has one of the best scorers in the league, Kevin Foster. If he and Trasolini can play at an elite level they may have a chance to be the Zags in the Semis.
