2026 West Coast Conference Tournament Championship Odds

Santa Clara vs. Gonzaga Odds

• Opening point spread: Gonzaga -6.5
• Opening moneyline: Gonzaga -245/Santa Clara +200
• Opening total: Over/Under 163.5 points scored
• Time: 9 p.m. ET Tuesday (ESPN)

LATEST UPDATE: With 75 minutes until tipoff, BetMGM has Gonzaga up to -8.5 (-105) in West Coast Conference championship odds. Overnight Monday into Tuesday, the Zags opened -6.5 (-115), and they advanced to -7.5 this morning and -8.5 (-105) this afternoon.

"The spread is all Zags money so far," BetMGM senior trader Cameron Drucker said. "Santa Clara outright would be an incredible result for conference tourney [futures] and game handle."

BetMGM's total is at 157.5 (Under -115), well off the 163.5 (Under -115) opener, with several stops on the way down early today. That said:

"The under is still an ideal result, but it's small either way," Drucker said.

SECOND UPDATE: At 1 p.m. ET Tuesday, eight hours before tipoff, Gonzaga is laying 7.5 points in DraftKings Sportsbook's West Coast Conference odds for the championship game. That's up a point from the Bulldogs -6.5 opener late Monday night.

Gonzaga is taking 66% of early spread bets and 81% of early spread money.

DraftKings' total is the bigger mover, tumbling six points, from 163.5 to 157.5. The Under is attracting 73% of early bets/94% of early dollars.

OPENING ODDS UPDATE: Santa Clara (26-7 SU/19-13 ATS) slightly shook things up in Monday night's West Coast Conference semifinals. The Broncos, 4.5-point underdogs in the late game, knocked off St. Mary's 76-71.

That ended the Gaels' win streak at eight and halted Santa Clara's 2-5 ATS skid. It also likely took the Broncos off the bubble and into the NCAA Tournament, though they can make that academic with a Tuesday night upset.

In the first semi, Gonzaga (29-3 SU/17-15 ATS) was never really threatened in a 65-56 victory over No. 4 seed Oregon State. But the Bulldogs fell well short of cashing as heavy 20.5-point favorites.

Gonzaga bounced back from a road loss to St. Mary's in the regular-season finale.

Minutes after Santa Clara's victory, DraftKings Sportsbook opened Gonzaga as 6.5-point chalk in WCC Tournament odds for the final. Within 30 minutes, DK adjusted to Gonzaga -6.5 (-115).

The total opened at 163.5 and was stable early in WCC championship odds.

Gonzaga went 2-0 SU/1-1 ATS vs. Santa Clara in the regular season. On Jan. 8, the Bulldogs won 89-77 laying 16.5 points at home. On Feb. 14, the Zags notched a 94-86 win as 5.5-point road favorites.
