The Gonzaga Bulldogs are the new No. 3 team in the country in the latest AP poll, supplanting Virginia after the Cavaliers lost to Duke over the weekend.
The Zags had a fantastic week, demolishing San Francisco at home on Thursday and following that up with a 40 minute clinic against Saint Mary’s, two of the other top teams in the WCC.
Of course, at this point in the year, the only way teams move up is by the fates of other squads. Virginia’s loss to Duke at home was apparently enough of a punishment for the Zags to squeak up.
