Zags up to 15th, 10th

Gonzaga continued to climb up the rankings, moving up to 15th in the A.P. poll and 10th in ESPN/USA Today. GU (14-3) moved up two spots in A.P. and four in the other poll. Saint Mary's lost a few votes in the ESPN/USA Today poll, receiving 16 compared to 25 last week, after its home loss to the Bulldogs.

The Zags were No. 10 in ESPN/USA Today's final regular-season poll last season and finished 13th after advancing to the Sweet Sixteen.

The Bulldogs, winners of six straight, entertain Pepperdine on Thursday in a battle of teams tied with 3-0 WCC marks. Loyola Marymount visits Saturday.
