As Gonzaga prepares to face Washington State at the McCarthey Athletic Center, the Bulldogs are focused on solidifying their position as a top seed in the NCAA tournament. With a 23-2 record and a NET ranking of 7, Gonzaga is in a strong position, but a win over the Cougars would further bolster their resume. Washington State, on the other hand, is in dire need of a quality win to jumpstart their tournament bid. The Cougars' 11-15 record and 133 NET ranking leave them on the outside looking in, but a win over Gonzaga would be a significant quad 1 victory.
