CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Gonzaga (26-0) remains No. 1 in the latest Associated Press Top 25 poll as the only undefeated team in the nation. And after winning last week at rival Saint Mary's the chances of the Bulldogs remaining unblemished the rest of the way look strong.

Gonzaga was one of four projected No. 1 seeds by the NCAA Tournament selection committee last week, and should hold that spot if it goes undefeated the rest of the way.

This is a team that looks to be very strong down the middle with guard Nigel Williams-Goss and center Przemek Karnowski. Williams-Goss is a transfer from the University of Washington and is one of the national favorites to win the Wooden Award, indicative of being Player of the Year in College basketball.

The 6-3 Junior guard is averaging 15.7 points a game for the Bulldogs. Karnowski is the muscle on the team, standing 7-1 and 300 pounds. He demands attention in the post, averaging 12.4 points and 5.7 rebounds on a team with balanced scoring overall and solid depth.

This is a unique team with players from Poland (Kanowski), Canada, Denmark, Japan and France. It will also be a rested team when NCAA Tournament play begins as the Bulldogs regular season ends a week earlier than most.

And the four remaining games should be little more than a warmup, considering all are teams Gonzaga has already defeated by double digits -- three of the four by 15 points or more.
