Gonzaga keeps finding its way back to the top of the The Associated Press men’s college basketball poll.
The Zags reclaimed the No. 1 ranking Monday for a third stint this season atop the AP Top 25, moving up one spot to swap places with Auburn after the Tigers fell to No. 2 following their first loss since November.
It’s become a regular position for Gonzaga over the past four seasons, one no other team in the country can match. This year’s Zags are doing it again with a high-powered offense that leads the country in scoring for the fourth straight season. Gonzaga has also led KenPom’s adjusted offensive efficiency metrics for the past three seasons and entered the week ranked second to Purdue .“That’s kind of how we play,” leading scorer Drew Timme said
Arizona climbed one spot to No. 3 followed by Kentucky -- which has its highest ranking since spending a week at No. 1 in November 2019 – and Purdue.
