The Bulldogs are No. 3 in Graham Hays' ESPN.com Mid-Major poll. At the top is Xavier, which GU beat for its first NCAA tournament win in 2009 but elimianted the Zags in the Sweet 16 last March, and Green Bay, which has former Idaho coach Mike Divilibiss on staff. In looking at mid-major players, Hays writes highly of GU's Katelan Redmon, skipping over Courtney Vandersloot, who has received plenty of recognition. Jada Evans of The Seattle Times also has a look at Gonzaga and the Bulldogs' lofty goals.
