For only the second time in school history, our neighbors to the west are the top-ranked men’s basketball team in the country, and it’s not the Cougars or Huskies.

Only 80 miles away, an hour and a half drive, you will find Spokane, Washington. A town mostly known for its dynasty led by Mark Few – an elite, but small college basketball program that is looking at its 19th straight NCAA tournament appearance and its first championship.

The Gonzaga Bulldogs, or Zags remain as the only unbeaten team in the country.

At 28-0 with two games remaining in the regular season, the Zags are in complete control of the West Coast Conference (WCC).
