Gonzaga University, a 7,000-student private Jesuit school in eastern Washington, earned the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA men's basketball tournament for the second straight year, further cementing its remarkable rise from relative obscurity to the top of the sport.
The Zags were the first team announced on Selection Sunday as March Madness officially got underway in 2022. Arizona earned the second No. 1 seed. Kansas and Baylor are expected to join them on the top seed line.
In Gonzaga's region, Rutgers and Notre Dame got in off the bubble.
