Andrew Nembhard scored 19 points, Rasir Bolton added 18 and top-ranked Gonzaga outlasted No. 17 Saint Mary’s 82-69 Tuesday night to win its eighth West Coast Conference tournament title in nine years. The Zags (26-3) had one big run in the first half to build a 10-point lead in its 25th straight WCC title game, but spent much of the night trying to shake the gritty Gaels. Gonzaga finally did it, making nine shots during a stretch in the second half to pull away after Saint Mary’s had cut the lead to two.
