The resumes have been compared, wins and losses pored over, and the selection committee has made their decision. The bracket is out, and Gonzaga is the third seed in the West Region for the upcoming NCAA Tournament.
The Zags are off the top line for the first time since 2018, when they were the fourth seed in the West and advanced to the Sweet Sixteen. This is just the second time in the last six seasons where Gonzaga is not a one seed, and their first time as #3 since 2006, when they took down Xavier and Indiana in the opening rounds and absolutely nothing happened after that.
