One Coach Thinks Gonzaga is No. 1 in New USA Today Coaches Poll

mb mizzou34web

The undefeated Kentucky Wildcats have finally taken all the first place votes in the AP Top 25 (yes, even Feinstein), but now one coach has inexplicably given his first place vote to Gonzaga in the USA Today Coaches Poll.

Kentucky is undefeated at 21-0 and just cruised to victories over Missouri and Alabama. Gonzaga earned two easy wins over Portland and a struggling Memphis team.

Additionally, Gonzaga has played one top 20 team his season…a 66-63 loss to Arizona.

There is no circumstance where the Zags have earned a first place vote over Kentucky.

Here’s a look at the top 10:
