The top teams continued their winning ways on the final weekend of the men’s basketball regular season, resulting in the top three staying put in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.
Houston retains the No. 1 spot, this week claiming 29 of 31 first-place votes. Connecticut holds at No. 2, though the remaining No. 1 nods went to third-ranked Purdue. North Carolina moves up three spots to No. 4 after beating Duke as Tennessee slides just one place to fifth.
Creighton makes a big jump, gaining four positions to check in at No. 6 ahead of Arizona. Iowa State also slips two spots to No. 8. Kentucky vaults back into the top 10 at No. 9 after its win at Tennessee, and Marquette hangs on to the 10th position as Duke slips to No. 11.
