Among the conference tournaments on the board this week in March Madness lines at the sports book is the West Coast Conference Championship.



It’s a very crucial competition for both Gonzaga and Saint Mary’s who could still be on the bubble to make the NCAA Championship. The champion gets the automatic tournament berth and will be on the board in March Madness betting and doesn’t have to worry about receiving an at-large bid.

Favorites
This is supposed to be all about Gonzaga and Saint Mary’s. The Gaels are the defending competition victors and they do have the seed in this season’s tournament. Saint Mary’s isn’t competing well lately as they have lost 3 of their last 4 and they could need to win this competition to get an NCAA bid. Gonzaga and Saint Mary’s get a double bye so they are already slotted into the semifinals on Saturday.

First Round
The first round competitions have Loyola Marymount competing with Portland while Pepperdine competes San Diego. Earlier this season it appeared that Portland might be a menace in the conference but that isn’t the case anymore. They’re likely to still defeat Marymount on Friday though. The other match is a toss-up. The champions of those two competitions will play either San Francisco or Santa Clara on Saturday. Neither San Francisco nor Santa Clara looks able to defeating the leading seeds but at least Santa Clara does have Kevin Foster who headed the league in scoring this season.

Monday’s WCC Tournament
It’s supposed to be Saint Mary’s and Gonzaga in this game on Monday and that would be the 3rd straight time they might have met in the finals. The merely two teams that look able to perhaps being a shocking in March Madness lines are Portland and Santa Clara but it still ought to be Saint Mary’s and Gonzaga on Monday. Saint Mary’s is headed by Mickey McConnell who was 3rd in the conference in scoring. Gonzaga wins with defense as they were the leading defensive team in the league. The teams divided their two meetings this season with each team winning on the road. Saint Mary’s got a two-point road win while Gonzaga won by 4 points on the road in overtime.
