AP Poll Top 25 men's college basketball rankings
The AP Poll has the top three teams remaining at the same spot as they were in last week's rankings. The top five are Houston, UConn, Purdue, North Carolina and Tennessee.
Six of the top 25 programs did not move compared to where they were last week.
The Kentucky Wildcats could jump the largest as they could climb up six spots to the ninth spot in the nation. They went 2-0 on the week as they picked up a 93-77 home win over the Vanderbilt Commodores. However, the second game grabbed the attention.

The offense was brutal, as they were 39.4% from the floor and 16.7% from beyond the arc. This team needs to figure out how to bounce back as the Pac-12 tournament is getting ready to begin.
