Arizona rises to No. 1 in AP Top 25 men's college basketball poll
It is Arizona's turn to sit atop The Associated Press Top 25 men's college basketball poll. The Wildcats rose to No. 1 in Monday's poll for the first time in nearly nine years, making Tommy Lloyd's squad the third team to hold the top spot this season. Last week's No. 1 team, Purdue, slid after an overtime loss at Northwestern. Arizona claimed 59 of 63 first-place votes to move up one spot, putting the Wildcats comfortably ahead of preseason No. 1 Kansas. The Jayhawks rose three spots to No. 2 with a win against last season's NCAA champion, UConn.
No.9: North Carolina | 7-1
