Zags drop out of both polls

As expected, the Gonzaga men’s basketball team slipped out of the Top 25 rankings in both major polls following a 66-65 loss at San Francisco on Saturday.

The Bulldogs (21-5, 11-3 WCC), No. 24 last week in A.P. and ESPN/USA Today, dropped into the others receiving votes category. They’re 27 ^th in A.P. and 29 ^th in ESPN/USA Today.

BYU, which visits Gonzaga on Thursday, is just behind GU at 28 ^th in A.P. Conference-leading Saint Mary’s, which lost twice last week, dropped from No. 16 to No. 23 in ESPN/USA Today and fell from No. 21 out of the A.P. rankings.
