🏀 KU returns to AP Top 25

Kansas returned to the Associated Press Top 25 men’s basketball poll this week, checking in at No. 19.

The Jayhawks were unranked a week ago but moved back into the poll after handing then-No. 2 Iowa State its first loss of the season and following that with an 18-point win over Baylor. Kansas’ return gives the Big 12 Conference six ranked teams.

Kansas travels to Colorado on Tuesday.

Nebraska remained unbeaten and climbed one spot to No. 7 after winning both of its games last week. The Cornhuskers are enjoying the highest ranking in program history.

Arizona continues to lead the poll at No. 1, followed by UConn, Michigan, Purdue and Duke to round out the top five.
