The Gonzaga men’s basketball team returned to the AP Top 25 poll on Monday for the first time in nearly a month.

The Zags (13-3, 5-0 WCC) are No. 25 after being in the receiving votes category in the previous four polls. Gonzaga puts its seven-game winning streak on the line Thursday against BYU, which ended the Zags’ 41-game home winning streak in last season’s regular-season finale.

Gonzaga moved up to No. 21 in the USA Today rankings. The Zags have been in that poll’s Top 25 all season.
