Three teams remain undefeated in college basketball
By JACOB POLACHECK
No. 1 Gonzaga, No. 2 Baylor and unranked Drake are the three remaining undefeated teams in college basketball after Alabama A&M fell to Prairie View A&M 79-57 on the road Saturday.
Gonzaga and Baylor are both projected as No. 1 seeds in the 2021 NCAA Tournament, while Drake is projected as a No. 9 seed, according to Joe Lunardi’s latest mock bracket released on ESPN Friday.
Gonzaga has lived up to its preseason No. 1 ranking, and is now 17-0 (8-0 WCC) after hammering Pepperdine 97-75 Saturday. Despite a poor night from projected top-5 pick Jalen Suggs, four Bulldogs reached double-figures as Gonzaga beat Pepperdine for the 41st straight time. The Zags have wins over four ranked teams.
Baylor has been equally as impressive. Standing atop the Big 12 standings, Baylor is 16-0 (8-0 Big 12) for the second time with wins over three ranked teams.
Baylor’s most recent win came Saturday with a 84-72 victory over Auburn in the Big 12/SEC Challenge.
