Men's basketball named 20th in Blue Ribbon's preseason poll

GU is ranked No. 20 on the Blue Ribbon College Basketball Yearbook’s Top 25 rankings.

The Blue Ribbon College Basketball Yearbook has been considered the “bible” of college basketball and features previews of every NCAA Division I team as well as preseason polls and awards.

The Bulldogs are joined in the Top 25 by West Coast Conference foe, Saint Mary’s, which is ranked No. 17.

Saint Mary’s Jock Landale was also named to the Blue Ribbon’s five-man preseason All-American team alongside Missouri’s Michael Porter and Duke’s Grayson Allen.

Last season, the Zags and the Gaels faced off in the WCC Tournament championship game, with GU coming out on top 74-56, earning the automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
