SPOKANE, Wash. — The Gonzaga men's basketball team is slowly moving up in the latest AP Top 25 College Basketball Poll.
The Zags are up one spot from last week's poll at No. 9. Gonzaga is 26-5 overall this season and 14-2 in conference play. The Bulldogs begin play in the West Coast Conference Tournament on Monday.
It was a relatively quiet basketball week for Gonzaga. The Bulldogs trounced Chicago State 104-65 in a postseason tune-up Wednesday night.
The biggest headline came from senior forward Drew Timme who confirmed he would be leaving Gonzaga after this season.
"I've done my four years. I've had a hell of a time. It's been the best time of my life," Timme said. "It's just time for me to move on you know?"
Timme's announcement meant fans got a chance to celebrate him and the other Gonzaga seniors one last time in The Kennel ahead of the Chicago State game.
Gonzaga now turns its focus to the WCC Tournament where it hopes to capture another championship on the team's way to the NCAA Tournament. ESPN currently has the Zags projected as a No. 3 seed.
Houston remained in the top spot of the poll. UCLA jumped up to number two, followed by Kansas, Alabama, and Purdue.
Gonzaga Women's Basketball
The Gonzaga Women's Basketball team dropped a spot in the latest AP Poll, despite not playing a game last week.
The Gonzaga Women are now ranked No. 16. The Zags finished the regular season 27-3 overall and 17-1 in conference play. The Gonzaga women begin play in the semifinals of the WCC Tournament on Monday against BYU.
