Braden Huff scored 18 points and Gonzaga avenged two regular-season losses to Saint Mary's, beating the 19th-ranked Gaels 58-51 in the West Coast Conference tournament championship Tuesday night. The Bulldogs (25-8) secured the WCC's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament,

It's a slightly new-look West Coast Conference Tournament this year with the inclusion of Oregon State and Washington State, which joined the WCC this year amidst conference realignment and the destruction of the Pac-12 and are now part of this 11-team tournament.

The Gaels shot 0 for 16 on 3-pointers as the two teams combined to shoot 1 for 31 from beyond the arc as they both get ready for the NCAA Tournament.
