Bracket
Gonzaga finally joins the fun on Sunday as they take on the San Francisco Dons. The two teams split the season series, with San Francisco winning on its home court in overtime before Gonzaga won in The Kennel, 70-53. The stakes are higher in the rubber match, with a berth in the WCC finals and a shot at an automatic NCAA tournament bid on the line.
