Now he's done it again. The 6-foot-8 junior forward, the second-leading scorer in Division I, was a repeat selection Monday, the 51st player to earn the honor in consecutive seasons.

Gonzaga is out of the NCAA tournament thanks to Wichita State, a No. 9 seed that made five straight shots from behind the arc Saturday for a 76-70 victory that sent the West Region's top seed — and the nation's No. 1 team during the regular season — back home.

Top-seeded Gonzaga ran into a No. 16 seed that wasn't playing like one, a crowd itching for an upset and the very real prospect of making history in a most embarrassing way. Somehow, the Zags maneuvered their way out of that mess Thursday with a 64-58 win over Southern University, but not before ...

Kentucky made sure of that by failing to make the field of 68.

Or its pint-sized enrollment of 4,900. Or the fact that employees at one office in its hometown are so gaga over the 'Zags, they wore their hair long at work this week as a shout-out to the team's best player, flowing-tressed 7-footer Kelly Olynyk.

Whether the top-ranked Zags get that top spot won't be decided until the weekend, not that it matters all that much to them.
