| 1 |  |
Indiana | Indiana stays atop the rankings after beating Michigan State on the road. Next up is a trip to Minnesota. | 1 |
| 2 |  |
Gonzaga | Gonzaga beat SCU by 43 and USD by 31. Hopefully a trip to BYU will at least stay somewhat close for a while. | 3 |
| 3 |  |
Duke | Duke is crawling back up the rankings with a couple easy wins. A #1 seed could be on the line Saturday vs. Miami. | 5 |
| 4 |  |
Michigan | With yet another quality win, this time over Illinois, the Wolverines are still in the mix for a Big Ten title. | 7 |
| 5 |  |
Georgetown | It is not easy to win in the Carrier Dome, but the Hoyas pulled it off. It’s not easy to win in Connecticut either. | 9 |
| 6 |  |
Miami | Following a few close calls, Miami finally lost a conference game. It will be interesting to see what happens now. | 2 |
| 7 |  |
Florida | The Gators lost a tough one at Missouri on Tuesday. This Tuesday they have another tough game at Tennessee. | 6 |
| 8 |  |
Kansas | Kansas got revenge against OSU and a bit more than revenge against TCU. Next up is an interesting trip to ISU. | 10 |
| 9 |  |
Louisville | Louisville had a pretty easy week compared to most Big East teams. But that ends this weekend in Syracuse. | 11 |
| 10 |  |
Michigan State | The Spartans lost back to back games for the first time all season. But that happens with IU and OSU on the slate. | 4 |
| 11 |  |

| 12 |  |
Ohio State | Ohio State is back in business after a blowout win over Minnesota and a tight win over Michigan State. | 15 |
| 13 |  |

| 14 |  |
Arizona | It seems like it has been a while, but Arizona won two games last week. Now they head to Southern California. | 13 |
| 15 |  |
New Mexico | Kendall Williams dropped 46 points, including ten 3-pointers, in a huge win at Colorado State. | 16 |
| 16 |  |
Oklahoma State | The Cowboys narrowly missed a season sweep of KU and now they’ll need the Jayhawks to slip. | 14 |
| 17 |  |
Memphis | Memphis all but wrapped up a C-USA title with their second win of the season over Southern Miss. | 20 |
| 18 |  |
Butler | Butler does not lose at home very often, but Saint Louis came away with a big win. Next up is a trip to VCU. | 17 |
| 19 |  |
Wisconsin | After a victory at Northwestern, the Badgers should add a couple more wins at home against Nebraska and Purdue. | 21 |

Saint Louis | With wins over VCU and Butler, Saint Louis is now in control of the Atlantic 10 with just a couple weeks left. | NR |
| 21 |  |

| 22 |  |
Pittsburgh | The Panthers blew an opportunity to beat Notre Dame, but at least got a decent road win in MSG. | 18 |
| 23 |  |
Notre Dame | The Irish are within striking distance of a Big East championship, but they have to go to Marquette and Louisville. | NR |
| 24 |  |
Louisiana Tech | Louisiana Tech added another win, if you count beating Central Baptist as a win. Utah State should be tougher. | 23 |
| 25 |  |
Saint Mary’s | Victories over BYU and Creighton, even if they were at home, were huge wins for Saint Mary’s. | NR |
