Overview

  • The AP men’s poll kept Arizona at No. 1 with 42 of 61 first-place votes and Michigan at No. 2 with 15, with minimal movement elsewhere in the top 10.
  • The USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll again listed Michigan at No. 1 with 16 of 31 first-place votes, with Arizona at No. 2 claiming 14 and closing to within four poll points.
  • Arizona’s case is built on five wins over ranked opponents, while advanced metrics and betting markets currently rate Michigan slightly higher and a neutral-court favorite.
  • Nebraska jumped to No. 15 after an 11-0 start capped by Jamarques Lawrence’s buzzer-beating win at then-No. 13 Illinois, the program’s best AP ranking since 1991.
  • In the women’s AP poll, UConn remained No. 1 after a 79-51 win at USC, receiving 24 of 32 first-place votes with a ranked showdown against Iowa up next.
