Gonzaga moves into the Top 10 in AP poll

Gonzaga men’s basketball climbed to No. 10 in the Associated Press poll this week after dismantling SMU and St. Joseph to secure a 4-0 start. Meanwhile, top-ranked Kentucky consolidated its standing atop the list after routing Boston and Montana State, earning all but three votes from the 65-member media panel. Those three went to Wisconsin, which was tied for second with Arizona. Duke and North Carolina round out the top five. Louisville, Texas, Virginia and Wichita State join Gonzaga in rounding out the rest of the top 10. Gonzaga was at No. 13 a week ago. Meanwhile, in the USA Today/Coaches poll, the Bulldogs jumped to No. 8, up three spots from last week.
