NCAA Men’s Basketball AP Top 25: Pittsburgh Back on Top as Connecticut Slides to #2

The Pittsburgh Panthers have clawed their way back to the #1 spot in the NCAA men’s basketball AP Top 25 after knocking off the Connecticut Huskies last Monday and then following that with a drubbing of DePaul on Saturday afternoon.

 

Despite their loss to Pittsburgh the Connecticut Huskies fell just one spot to #2 this week after following the setback with a win over South Florida.

 

The Oklahoma Sooners also dropped a spot to #3 after they fell to the Texas Longhorns in Big 12 play but a greater concern will be the health of Blake Griffin who sustained a concussion in the loss and remains questionable for their game against the Kansas Jayhawks on Monday night.

 

North Carolina also saw a slip in their position as they moved to #4 after losing an overtime thriller to the Maryland Terrapins in ACC play on Saturday. The Tar Heels don’t play again until next Saturday when they host Georgia Tech.

 

The Memphis Tigers are the only Top 10 team from a week ago to remain in their same spot as they continue this week as the #5 team in the country. Memphis will face their last real challenge in conference play this week when they travel to take on UAB on Feb. 26
