The Zags earned the tournaments #1 overall seed on Sunday, while Eastern Washington was awarded a 14 seed. Gonzaga will enter the NCAA Tournament as the 20th undefeated team ever.
The Zags hold the record for most double-digit wins as the Associated Press top ranked team in the country with 23. They passed the 1971-1972 UCLA team when they reached 21 straight. The Bruins won the title undefeated that season. No other team has accomplished this in the past 60 seasons.
By winning the West Coast Conference Tournament Championship against BYU, the Zags became the only NCAA D-I team in the last 25 years to allow 50 points or more in the first half of a conference title game and still win.
Gonzaga and Eastern are both in the West region for the NCAA Tournament.
