NCAA Basketball: New Year, brand new top 25
By Doug Winkey
2. Gonzaga Bulldogs
Previous Ranking: 6
Record: 15-0 (3-0 WCC)
Don’t look now, but the Zags are one just two unbeaten teams left in the country. Gonzaga has crushed their first three WCC opponents and will host Loyola Marymount next.
Nigel Williams-Goss exploded for 36 points and 11 rebounds in a key win at San Francisco. His supporting cast varies some, but you can count on a combination of Przemek Karnowski, Jordan Mathews and Josh Perkins as his most consistent helpers. This might be the strongest Mark Few team ever and could get the team to its first Final Four.
