College basketball fans can set their watch to Gonzaga.

The Zags have won 20 WCC titles since 1998 and they haven’t missed a conference championship game since 1998 – the year that “Titanic” swept the Oscars. 

While a lot is made of Gonzaga’s failure to win the national championship, nobody can ever question their dominance in the WCC. 

Perhaps no school knows this better than the University of San Francisco.

The Dons are in the midst of one of their best seasons since the 1970s, but it may not matter if they can’t slay their boogey man.

Gonzaga vs. San Francisco WCC Tournament odds

San Francisco has lost 32 in a row to Gonzaga, a streak that dates back to 2012. 

Making matters worse is that San Francisco will be without Marcus Williams, its second-leading scorer. 

The good news for the Dons is that this season has been more trying than usual for Mark Few’s Gonzaga. The Zags have had some messy losses and are currently predicted to land as a No. 8 seed in the NCAA Tournament. 

However, there is a chance that the Zags are actually flying under the radar a bit going into the business end of the season.

Their statistical profile paints them as one of the best teams in the country and KenPom has them pegged as the 14th-unluckiest squad in Division I, which could make Gonzaga an appealing team in the futures market when the bracket gets settled this weekend.

It may seem like Gonzaga’s dominance in the WCC Tournament and its streak against San Francisco may be inflating this number a bit, but the other side of the coin is that the Zags are likely better than their record suggests.

At some point, San Francisco will end this hex. It’s just unlikely to be Monday.

The Pick: Gonzaga -14.5 (-110, Fanatics Sportsbook)

You look at our team, I thought we we really fought, at some points we just kind of ran out of gas.”
