Here’s how to watch Saturday’s crucial WCC matchup between the No. 5 Gonzaga Bulldogs and No. 21 Saint Mary’s Gaels online.
First place in the WCC will be on the line when the No. 5 Gonzaga Bulldogs host the No. 21 Saint Mary’s Gaels on Saturday night at the McCarthey Athletic Center.
The Bulldogs are the last undefeated team remaining in Division I with a perfect record of 16-0. Gonzaga earned solid nonconference wins over No. 23 Florida and No. 16 Arizona before reeling off four straight wins to start WCC play.
This looks like arguably Mark Few’s best team in terms of pure talent, and Gonzaga has enough depth to go on a deep run in the NCAA Tournament. Washington transfer point guard Nigel Williams-Goss has been terrific to compliment Gonzaga’s frontcourt, which includes Przemek Karnowski and freshman Zach Collins.
Saturday’s game begins at 10:00 p.m. Eastern on ESPN 2, with full streaming details available below.
Date: Saturday, January 14
Start Time: 10:00 p.m. ET

Saint Mary’s entered the year with high expectations and has lived up to the hype so far with a record of 15-1 so far. The Gaels shook off a loss in early December to UT-Arlington with a nine game winning streak, including a 74-33 destruction of Portland on Thursday night.
Randy Bennett’s style of slowing the pace to a crawl has worked to perfection this year, as the Gaels rank third in the nation in offensive efficiency and 24th in defensive efficiency. Center Jock Landale could be a national star come March, as the junior is averaging 17.8 points and 9.7 rebounds per contest.
