Projected seed: 2

Gonzaga’s résumé is anchored by eye-catching neutral-site wins over Alabama, Maryland and Kentucky and a statement road victory at Arizona State, and it is bolstered by convincing nonconference results against Creighton and Oklahoma and offensive outbursts versus TX Southern and Southern Utah. A lopsided neutral loss at Michigan defines the downside and magnifies the value of road and neutral success, while the defense shown in the signature wins demonstrates the team’s ability to control games. Upcoming neutral tests against UCLA and Oregon and road dates at St Mary’s and Santa Clara are the clear opportunities to erase the Michigan blemish and prove consistency away from home, and strong results in those spots would convert the current collection of marquee victories into an unmistakable résumé.
