#1 vs. #2 Battle on the Horizon Gonzaga vs UCLA

For the first time since the season opener in the 2019-20 season, we will see the top two teams match up in the regular season. #1 Gonzaga and #2 UCLA will meet tonight in what is going to likely be the best non-conference matchup of the season.

Gonzaga sits at 4-0 on the season, as does UCLA, and we will get a rematch of their final-four bout from a year ago. Gonzaga has 55 first-place votes while UCLA has just five.
