GU moves up, but not into top 25
There is a WCC team ranked this week, but it isn't Gonzaga. Saint Mary's (15-1) took over the 25th spot in the ESPN/USA Today poll that was held by Tennessee a week ago. The Vols, dropped out of the ESPN/USA Today rankings after losing Gonzaga on Wednesday, but they are No. 24 in the Associated Press top 25.
Gonzaga is 26th in the A.P. poll with 137 points. The Zags (10-4) are 30th in ESPN/USA Today with 17 points (Saint Mary's had 62).
UPDATE: Loyola Marymount coach Bill Bayno, who has been on leave of absence, has decided to step down. More here.
(Programming note: Gonzaga's media day, normally on Mondays, will be Tuesday this week).
