Shannon Ryan's Top 25

Kansas moves up to No. 1

Records through Monday (last week's rank)

1. Texas 22-3 (3): You have to go back to Jan. 8 to find a team that scored at least 65 against the Longhorns.

2. Ohio State 24-1 (1): Hard to punish the Buckeyes, who shot 54.3 percent in their loss to Wisconsin.

3. Pittsburgh 23-2 (4): Panthers beat Villanova without leading scorer Ashton Gibbs.

4. Kansas 24-2 (2): The Jayhawks were blown out by Big 12 rival Kansas State on Monday night.

5. Duke 23-2 (5): Nolan Smith resembled a player of year candidate with 34 points in win over rival UNC.

6. San Diego State 23-2 (6): Aztecs completed season sweep of UNLV.

8. BYU 24-2 (8): Last four opponents didn't reach 65 points against the Cougars.

9. Georgetown 20-5 (11): Can Hoyas make it nine straight with a victory at UConn on Wednesday?

10. Wisconsin 19-5 (12): Badgers have won 35 of their last 36 games at the Kohl Center.

11. Purdue 20-5 (14): Boilermakers can pay back Wisconsin and Ohio State this week for earlier losses.

12. Connecticut 19-5 (9): Kemba Walker has seven assists in each of the last two games.

19. Kentucky 17-7 (16): It has been a rough road, where Wildcats have lost five of six in SEC play.
