LAS VEGAS, Nev. (AP) - Mickey McConnell scored 26 points, Ben Allen added 20 and Saint Mary's upset No. 18 Gonzaga with an 81-62 victory Monday night in the West Coast Conference tournament title game.
Omar Samhan had nine points and seven rebounds for the Gaels (26-5), who earned the sixth NCAA tournament berth in the small Bay Area school's history with a remarkable shooting performance against the top-seeded Zags (26-6), the 10-time regular-season WCC champions.
McConnell and Allen hit four 3-pointers apiece, propelling the Gaels to a first-half lead before an electric 18-7 run down the second-half stretch.
Saint Mary's won the WCC tournament for just the second time since it began in 1987, beating Gonzaga for the first time in 10 tourney meetings.
