Purdue is back on top of the USA TODAY Sports men’s basketball coaches poll.
The Boilermakers, ranked fourth last week, vault back to No. 1 after taking down Arizona, the team that had held the No. 1 position for the last two weeks. With that result, Purdue now owns three top-10 victories, with earlier wins against No. 6 Marquette and No. 7 Tennessee in Hawaii.
Kansas, which held the No. 1 spot earlier in the season, is back up to No. 2, claiming three first-place votes. Houston, unbeaten but yet to face anyone else in the top five, slips to No. 3 despite picking up the remaining nine No. 1 nods. Arizona falls to No. 4, and defending champ Connecticut holds at No. 5.
