Rankings from AP poll

The top-seeded Zags won the conference tournament at Santa Clara,[2] and were seeded tenth in the West regional of the NCAA tournament. Unranked and sent to Seattle, they recorded the program's first NCAA tournament wins with upsets of Minnesota and #7 Stanford, the region's second seed. In the Sweet Sixteen at Phoenix, Gonzaga edged sixth-seeded Florida by a point,[3] but fell by five in the Elite Eight to third-ranked Connecticut, the eventual national champion, and finished at 28–7 (.800).[4]
