Gonzaga 17th in AP poll

Gonzaga is back in the polls — 17th in the A.P, 16th in the ESPN/USA Today. WCC rival Portland made the A.P. poll at No. 25.

UPDATE: It’s the Pilots first time in the rankings in 50 years.

Portland was just outside the Top 25 in the ESPN/USA Today poll at 28th and Saint Mary’s also received votes. Washington State, GU’s opponent Wednesday in the Kennel, received votes in both polls.
