The Zags are two wins away from a third undefeated WCC season in the past six. The Bulldogs secured their ninth straight regular-season title with a 92-58 victory over Pepperdine on Saturday night, two days after blowing out Loyola Marymount 91-54.

Gonzaga's largest margin of victory in WCC play this season came in a 95-53 win over Santa Clara on Jan. 15. The Bulldogs shot 55.4 percent and had five players score in double figures.

Gonzaga has won five straight and 15 of its last 16 versus the Broncos and leads the series 40-29. Santa Clara hasn't beaten the Bulldogs at home since 2001, losing eight straight since then.

The Broncos enter this contest having lost two of three and face a tall order against a Bulldogs team that appears hungry. Be sure to get your college basketball odds with Bodog now.
