The top three were unchanged Monday as UConn, Purdue and North Carolina still sit atop the Associated Press Top 25 men’s college basketball poll.

Purdue and North Carolina (18-4) are coming off big weekend wins against Wisconsin and Duke, respectively. No. 4 Kansas (18-4) moved up four spots after beating Houston (19-3), which dropped a spot to No. 5.
Tennessee (16-5), Marquette (17-5), Arizona (17-5), Duke (16-5) and Illinois (17-5) round out the top 10.
No. 16 Alabama (16-6) climbed eight spots, while No. 23 Texas Tech (16-5) tumbled the same number of places this week.
No. 15 South Carolina (19-3) jumped into the poll for the first time since 2017 after beating Tennessee and Georgia.
