LAS VEGAS, NV. – The Gonzaga Bulldogs are hoping the third time will be the charm.
After winning in the semi-final game against San Francisco, 85-76, the Zags will play Saint Mary’s for the third time this season and are hoping to get their first win against the Gaels this year.

Zags’ Graham Ike was the star of the show with a double-double, tallying 27 points and 10 rebounds. Khalif Battle added 21 points. Ryan Nembhard dished out eight assists.
The WCC championship game is Tuesday at 6 p.m. in the Orleans Arena.
