23. Gonzaga
Mark Few has one of his most talented teams as the Zags begin their quest for a 12th straight West Coast Conference title. Elias Harris has the talent to become one of the top players in the nation, and he hopes to have a bounce-back year after battling through injuries last season. Gonzaga also has 7-foot center Robert Sacre, a senior who has the ability to dominate in the WCC. Sam Dower, Marquise Carter and David Stockton have shown they can contribute and take on larger roles. Few also added freshmen Gary Bell Jr. and Kevin Pangos as potential difference-makers in the backcourt. The Zags will need a number of players to have big seasons, as they play a difficult schedule and face a new challenge with perennial Mountain West contender BYU entering the WCC. -- Diamond Leung
