Which team climbed the most in the AP Poll Top 25?

The UConn Huskies had the largest ascent in the AP Poll Top 25 this week as they jumped five spots and rounded off the top 10 rankings. They were able to rack up a pair of 20+ point victories as they defeated then-21st-ranked Creighton 73-53 at home and DePaul on the road 104-67.

This Huskies program has a lot of talent and it will be interesting to see how they do here. With a legendary coach like Geno Auriemma and the talent throughout the roster, they can be a serious threat by the end of the regular season and into the NCAA Tournament.

Which team dropped the most in the AP Poll Top 25?

The program that has dropped the most in this week's AP Poll Top 25 has been the North Carolina State Wolfpack as they have fallen out of the top 10. They dropped six spots this week and are now 12th after a pair of road losses against unranked foes.

The first loss was against the North Carolina Tar Heels (80-70). In that game, the Wolfpack were outscored in the first three quarters and tied in the fourth quarter.

The other game during the week was on the road, where the Duke Blue Devils defeated them 69-58.
