Another night, another blowout for Gonzaga. That's nine straight for the Zags.
"We've got five people on the floor who can score at all times," Gonzaga freshman Chet Holmgren told reporters after Thursday night's 89-55 win over Loyola Marymount inside the McCarthey Athletic Center. "Everybody is a threat."
That makes it seem like nobody in the West Coast Conference is a threat to the Zags, which are now 5-0 in the WCC with all five wins coming by at least 16 points. Their average margin of victory in league games is 28.4 points per game. They've now won 26 consecutive WCC games dating back to the 2019-20 season.
So is Gonzaga about to go undefeated in the WCC again?
Perhaps — but it does still have trips to BYU, San Francisco and Saint Mary's left on the schedule. The Zags will be favored in each contest, obviously, but any of those games could theoretically get tricky and result in a loss.
Either way, Gonzaga is well on its way to securing a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament for the fourth time in a five-tournament span — and it would be for the fifth time in a six-tournament span if not for a global pandemic leading to the cancelation of the 2020 NCAA Tournament. It really is incredible stuff from one of the nation's best programs.
Gonzaga remains No. 2 in Friday morning's updated CBS Sports Top 25 And 1 daily college basketball rankings, one spot behind top-ranked Auburn. The Zags' next game is Saturday against Portland. KenPom projects them as 30-point winners.
