LAS VEGAS (AP) — Marquise Carter scored 18 points, including seven late free throws, and Demetri Goodson made a key steal to help Gonzaga hang on for a 71-67 victory Sunday night over San Francisco in the West Coast Conference tournament semifinals.
The Bulldogs (23-9) set up a finals rematch with Saint Mary’s, who pulled off the 81-62 upset of Gonzaga in last year’s championship.
San Francisco (17-14) trailed by as many as 13 points in the second half but kept chipping away.
The Dons were within 68-65 after a 3-pointer by Michael Williams with 9.7 seconds left, and Rashad Green stole the inbounds pass.
