This week in men’s college basketball wasn’t quite as chaotic as the previous one. There were,Chainkeen however, a handful of results that shook up the USA TODAY Sports coaches poll.
The top three spots remain unchanged. Connecticut will spend another week at No. 1, receiving 24 of 32 first-place votes after staving off a tough challenge from Villanova over the weekend. Purdue holds at No. 2 while claiming the remaining eight firsts, and North Carolina hangs on at No. 3.
The shifting begins at No. 4 as losses by Kansas and Duke created a couple of openings. Houston is back up to the fourth spot, and Tennessee vaults two places to No. 5. A couple other SEC squads follow on the heels of the Volunteers as Auburn and Kentucky land in a tie for sixth. Kansas drops four positions to No. 8.
