Undefeated Oklahoma Ranked No. 7 In Latest AP Poll; Battle With No. 11 North Carolina On The Horizon

The undefeated Oklahoma Sooners (10-0) moved up four spots in the latest AP college basketball poll to No. 7 on Monday.

The Sooners defeated Green Bay in Norman on Saturday, 81-47, on a day that saw several top-ranked teams lose, allowing the door to open for a jump in the standings for Porter Moser's third-year squad.

Oklahoma travels to Charlotte to face basketball blue blood and 11th-ranked North Carolina on Wednesday.

The Sooners are one of six Big 12 teams ranked this week, ahead of No. 19 Texas, No. 17 BYU and No. 10 Baylor. They're ranked behind No. 2 Kansas and No. 3 Houston.

Purdue’s slide from No. 1 in The Associated Press Top 25 men’s college basketball poll turned out to be brief.

The Boilermakers headlined Monday’s latest poll for the second time this season after beating former No. 1 Arizona over the weekend. The Wildcats had spent two weeks at No. 1 after Purdue’s loss to Northwestern ended the Boilermakers’ stint at the top after one week.

Purdue received 48 of 62 first-place votes in the latest poll to jump from third with the Arizona win, which marked the program’s first win against a No. 1 team in 23 years. It also marked the latest impressive nonconference win to a resume that already includes ranked teams in Gonzaga, Tennessee and Marquette.

Preseason No. 1 Kansas stayed at No. 2 with six first-place votes, while Houston moved up one spot to No. 3 and had the other eight votes. Arizona fell to fourth.

UConn, Marquette, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Kentucky and Baylor rounded out the top 10.

No. 23 Memphis and No. 25 Mississippi were the week’s new additions. Miami (No. 24) and Northwestern (No. 25) fell out from last week.
